You can drain back any AOS system, but you have to consider the risk/reward of going in that direction, because 90% of the time when an AOS has issues, it's in the drain back.
I get what you are saying there. The issue I had with running a catch can is our engines just don't puke that much oil. So it became something that I would skip in my checks before a track day after never seeing anything in the can after half a dozen checks. So I was looking at something more install and forget on top of your design being very compact. Though in conversation with @blsfrs he did mention the good point that you wouldn't know what it was puking if it drained back on it's own.
