My primary concern with the Puchacz/Perkoz design would be the big
canopy frame obstructing the back seat pilot's vision. Never flown
either, but it looks substantial, and right in the field of vision.

I've ridden back seat in the Puchacz once or twice. Rear vision is a bit
restricted, but the main thing I noticed was internal reflections in
that long, glass tunnel.

There's one possible disadvantage that I'm surprised the nobody has
mentioned: replacing Puchacz/Perkoz canopies is much more expensive than
replacing K-21 or G.103 canopies due to the sheer single piece size.
