It seems impressive in general. But are users still going to be stuck with the awful pox that is an important hold-to-use modifier key, Alt Gr, that appears on only one side of the spacebar? All this statistical analysis and the result is another layout which is deeply incompatible with proper touch-typing?

Well, that would require even more radical keyboard layout changes I guess ?

And I assume that less common characters have been put there ?

But I assume that you're talking about {}, which some programmers use quite frequently, and which are still locked behind AltGr, though in a better position than before?

(Also, there's always Alt+Ctrl, though it's certainly not ideal either...)

I'm talking about the fact that there's only one Alt Gr, on the right of the spacebar, but many characters behind an Alt Gr modifier on the right-hand side of the keyboard. You can't type any of those characters using the correct form for touch-typing, which is to hold the modifier key with one hand while pressing the letter key with the other.

(Ctrl+Alt is a lot better than nothing, but it more or less forces you to move your hand off the home row, which is pretty undesirable.)
