Huh! So eltoo-style penalty-free channels were possible all this time without CTV/APO? Nice!

That's a different paper. This paper: https://github.com/JohnLaw2/ln-factory-optimized/blob/main/factoryoptimized13.pdf
And the answer is yes....technically. Except that the math is too complex for anyone to actually implement it at least right now.

Can it be simplified by getting rid of the path where the channel is closed while processing a long-duration HTLC? I'm still not convinced that those are a good idea anyway.

The real answer is I don't know. I just know like 2 people who understand the paper I linked (one of them being the author and I don't mean that I've met or talked to them just that they are a person that I am aware has understanding of the paper) and every other developer I've seen kinda struggles to fully comprehend what's going on with it.
Now, this is what specs are for, so maybe we'll get a spec of John Law's favorite paper one day.
