Brent * I figured out that you could avoid acceleration entirely if the traveling twin is always in free fall and the clocks are synchronized when the traveler passes the resting twin. I don't recall you simply stating that, so I wouldn't have to decode your diagrams. What you left out is HOW the traveling twin gets into orbit. If you ignore that issue, then voi-la, you've gotten the result you wanted, but with a different scenario than the original TP.
