Who has either used BBO data or done a complicated double-dummy simul to address this? Bridge teachers would appreciate some facts.

Such as "If partner opens 20-21 2NT, should I bid game with a balanced 4-count?"

A crude way would be to generate hands that conform, imput them into DMPRO, run Deep Finesse and look at the outcomes. A single dummy analyser (like Jack?) would be better.
How tricky would it be to include shapely hands & shortage points, location of honours, etc? Sounds lie a huge job, worth being paid to do.

Gut feeling no... Balanced 20 counts tend to underwhelm when you have no entires to dummy. But game in a suit is a definite possibility.

It seems to me that double-dummy analysis would be particularly misleading on this type of deal. When entries are scarce you have to guess what to use them for.
... that would still not be conclusive proof, before someone wants to explain that to me as well as if I was a 5 year-old. - gwnn

I did a limited simulation of this type of situation some time ago:
