I don't think this will work because those encrypted transactions could all
be fake and distort the view clients have on this 'mempool'?

I believe you are suggesting out-of-band payment in case the fee included
in the transaction itself is insufficient and CPFP/RBF is impossible or
impractical? The question is why would the miner trust you to indeed
release after confirmation? The 2-of-2 presumably has a clawback clause
with a timeout that could be used by the user to avoid paying.
