Looking at the shield that Ferrari were running, in order to meet the criteria that it is not a full canopy the structure has to be reinforced to such an extent that the optics are like looking through a warped magnifying glass!
Impossible!
Why the FIA / F1 could not just adopt the canopy that was tested on the first page of this thread is just beyond comprehension.
Alternatively just make the standard canopy optional, the aero advantage would probably ensure that everyone adopted it, end of problem!
