Sounds good and I think you are have enough know to make a project like this. I will be making the map tutorials soon and you'l be able to recreate some of the more unique places in Melanat.
About linking TAC to Melanat, I think thats a great idea. You could have a character in Melanat who is making the dark idol for example, only to have its positivity (possibly elf derived?) corrupted by a guyra - like monster.
I wouldnt worry too much about the tile cutoff, because alot of Melanat is underground and dungeon based - which is what SoM is designed around. The only problems you might have is around the west shore, but if you cut out the linking bridge from the shore to fire tower you wont... Melanat might have been hit by a storm for many years, causing severe erosion around the west shore?
Anyway what I like about this concept is the open scope of creating something unique, while having the lore and general level structure already there.
