I've wondered about a mullet spitfire. I know banshee note their preference is to mullet the 29er frames since there's less geo change, but as someone not terribly enamored with either steep STA's nor low bottom brackets, it has been a thought.
I found my 2019 rootdown to be very uncomfortable when seated except on anything that was not a super steep uphill grade (76 STA before fork sag). My ripmo AF is borderline at 76. My mulleted chameleon with 29er dropouts is more like 71 or 72 and yeah I need to pay attention on the steepest climbing sections but its overall a more manageable situation for me.
