The 'baffle' would reach ~3/4 the way up the tank

I've seen something similar, though constructed in a corner of the tank.
I would prefer the second option.

I had thought of having a pick up point at both LH and RH sides of the tank, with piping going to a T before the fuel pump, so you would always have a
head of fuel when the car is cornering left or right, good or bad idea?

If you have (say) 1/2G sideways force on a long bend, the fuel will slop to the left in the connecting pipe exactly like it does in the tank, leaving
the pump suckin air from the 'high side'.
I'll make a model of my swirl baffle out of plastic & let you know how it behaves (sounds like the sort of fun thing I can involve my
daughter in!)

Hi Pat
Just in case you hadnt thought of it, don't weld the top of your tank on until you've mounted your fuel sender you'll get with the
Digidash, it would be easier to mount it into a panel where you can get at both sides, and you wont get shed loads of swarf in there to wash out!
Also, I think you'll be OK but you might just want to make sure that the sender can swing through a full arc with the baffle in place before
cutting any holes, otherwise you might need to move the baffle slightly or get a plunger type sender instead.
