Welcome Chris.
It looks as if you have thought about this quite a bit.
I'd say go for the left handed approach. If right handed players like myself can get the fingers of their left hands to dance among the frets... you might actually find it easier to do chord work with your right hand and then all's you got to do is train your left hand to pluck or pick.
I hold a belief that most musicians are bi-dextrous or become that way of necessity.
