[Avodah] saying kaddish together

Here would be my order of preference

1 Only 1 individual saya kaddish at a time in the shul nusach only -
acting as sh'liach tzibbur original format.

Note: if necessary, say an extra mizmor to give each individual at least
ONE kaddish per hiyyuv. [Shelo k'da'as haGRA]

2A Unison in shul nusach as per the current minhag - a compromise to
make shalom

2B Only 1 individual say kaddish at a time but in his own nusach only
acting as sh'liach tzibbur - in a tzibbur that tolerates different
nusachos

...

99
Allow everyone to say kaddish in their own nusach [I would also demand
9 listeners per reciter] "...and to wait for the longest version."
If 9 listeners per, I could dispense with this last clause completely.

If you accept halachah changing via evolution, then this rabbi's revision
is OK.

If you stick to core principles, it's IMHO a really lousy alternative.
