Works for me.  Nice job.

However, I'm certain not everyone will agree.  This is a long-standing
and deeply ingrained prejudice in the field.  Many books on
stereophotography forcefully proclaim that everything "must" be sharp,
front to back, and brook no exceptions.

I don't find that every example works, but I certainly think there are
some that do.  I'm still trying to quantify why.
