We had this discussion before. I'l just note that I agree with one of
your assertions: this will result in a CLI that is more similar to the
one of Cisco. However it will be a more confusing one for those who are
not CLI masters.

The current shell makes it easy to discover commands.

BTW: what would you gain by saving tab presses? The con is that you
can't easily be sure that the complition is the only one. So for
efficient typing, just use tab-space instead of space and type as
usual. Don't wait for the tab completion.
