 Well, being impatient and with time on my hands... I answered my own question. I went ahead and did my experiment as above.

Assuming Ms. Jenavieve is a good representation of a typical JH, here's the detail: I took about 3/8 of an inch off the collar (almost down to the existing lug slot) and then deepened the slots almost as far as possible, about 3/16 of an inch. Put it back together without the shroud so I could see. The back of the steering wheel hub is barely touching the blue cancelling collar, and the lugs engage nicely. Put it all back together properly, and everything works great. 

I will probably be taking it apart when I do the radio install since it's so much easier to work in there without the steering wheel in the way, and I will take a couple of pictures so the next poor slob like me can see how I adapted it.

On to the next "little thing" in the ever growing list.
