don't see the market for US-style C's, 24 to 30+ feet and 14,000+ GVWRs,
I would disagree with that. We have now
26ft NORMAL C's based on Euro based Cab Chassis. As well 31ft Class C's based on light Japanese Trucks. Class C's are restricted to roughly 30-31ft here(Caravan park camping) as far as GVWR/GCVWR the sky is the limit for the base donor vehicles are numerous.(i.e 20,000lb towing)
FWD and small engines work in Europe because the motorhomes on those chassis aren't any heavier, and not much taller or wider, than our full-size SUVs. About 30% larger than our minivans.
Neither is that the case. Depends on who builds them. The maximum GVWR of a Ducato is 11,000lb. The IVECO Daily powered Concorde Liner has a GVWR of 15,000lb a Payload of 3000lb and a towing capacity of a 5000lb with a Automatic.

Ducato/Pormaster is FWD. Not way would you be able to pull a 30'+ coach up any sort of a grade without madly spinning the tires.
