Q2 - How generous is the routed cavity beneath the pickguard?
Q3 - Is the control cavity the same depth along its length or is there a shallower portion about one third of the way along?
That immediately gives you two choices.
If you do not need a second guitar with traditional Telecaster sounds, you could get a lot from one Rails or Li'l 'bucker type bridge position pickup and some fancy coil and capacitor network switching.
I've just fitted SD hot rail in the bridge of my Tele, splits on the tone pot. Still gives you that classic Tele sound but has got some ooomf if I need it!
I also had a neck SD '59 in a Tele i've just sold and the middle position was tonetastic!
The bridge pickup cavity should be a strange pentagonal affair. With a suitable replacement bridge base plate, it should accommodate a regular humbucker, Filter'Tron clone or Duncan P-Rails.
