Sure, but you won't find any of those in a GA aircraft - they probably cost
more than the entire aircraft does right now without them!

significantly higher than the failure rate in other industries, the
aviation designer is mostly likely doing s/she should not be doing.]

Everything you propose is likely possible, or may be possible some day - who
can say. Good luck to you though - I hope your design is a success.
