I think it's technically feasible.

I just don't think we can remain in denial of the fact that the
resurgence of tramways in the UK owes everything to the light rail
concept.

Modern "light rail" is a direct development of old school tramways
(with a new name to make it sound cooler than old fashioned trams).

I seriously doubt any city is going to build a 100% street running
tramway network, ever again.

How many of the UK tramways still open in 1950 were still 100% street
running? Even then there was a fair amount of segregated track and
the odd section of tunnel (e.g. Kingsway).
