I think the additional purpose of the basket is to make sure all the solids evacuate out the drain vent.
If you partition off the pump and leave the basket out then solids could be anywhere in the tank. This would certainly keep solids from being pumped around.
I think getting the basket bettered secured would payoff in the long run. When it comes time to dump the toilet, all the solids are near the drain vent. When you open the drain vent the rest of the blue water will flush the solids out the drain vent.
So the trick here is to find a bonding agent that will secure to the tank and and is inert to tank chemicals.
On the vinyl skirt, you have to careful what materials you use to keep the flapper closed. A lot of those common vent flapper components will react with the chemicals in the toilet. I would not expect a vent hood component to last very long at all.
