Have you tried the Canadian-French layout? It’s pretty much what you were looking for ;)

I find the Canadian-French layout[1] to be pretty hard to learn, because the placement of characters is confusing. For example:
– ± is on key 1 (?)
– ² is on key 8 (?!)
– can't directly type éèêë, àâä, ùûü, ìîï[2].
– € is not available (big oops for a French keyboard layout).
– œ and æ are not available either.
– no support for no-break space and narrow no-break space (they are mandatory in French around punctuation).
QWERTY-fr aims to be super easy to learn if you know QWERTY thanks to its logical philosophy — you can read about it here[3].
What do you think? :)

[2] You need to press a dead key first, which is awkward and slow. The fact that dead keys are placed seemingly randomly makes it even worse.

Here's a link to the MacOS version layout for alt-codes, which I believe handles all your points except the last: https://i.stack.imgur.com/v1ZLm.png
Thank you for the clarification. If I understand correctly, one needs to press two keys to print « É ». Do you agree?
If it's right, I believe that it only invalidates point #4.
Shift + /, when using fr-CA, does return É. Is that what you meant with "two keys". For œ or Œ, I use Option+Q or Option+Shift+Q (Mac Big Sur).
