Ohhh....yes, I like this one

Simulated.Measured or simulated performance? How did you find a 0.0001% THD capacitor for C3?
C3 does not effect the THD
No. Electrolytic capacitors are non-linear.C3 does not effect the THD
The current mirror U7 and U8 will not work with mismatched transistors. They need emitter degeneration.
I am pretty sure the simulator is assuming that U5 and U6 have the exact same Idss. You need to build a real amplifier.

The NFB would have to be split in DC (for operating point) and AC for reduction of distortion. The AC feedback should include both input and output C. In my simulations this works rather nice. In DC output coupling it still is useful to include the input C in the NFB loop. Those with fast prototyping ability could measure the difference.No. Electrolytic capacitors are non-linear.

On the PCB add output Zobel 10ohm+100nF, Inductor across 10ohmLineup makes simulated suggestions only, if anyone does not know yet!
I might do a pcb suggestion, but it will take some time and some critical checking ...
Very true.This makes it more complicated.
I wanted keep it simple.
The performance is good without those changes.
But if somebody would make all those changes I would simulate this.
