Traditional gel rigs are pretty inefficient in terms of agarose use, mostly because they are just that 'traditional'. From my experience they haven't really changed much in design since they were first made for the nascent mol bio field.
So there is lots of scope for redesign, high resolution cameras are everywhere these days so I think miniaturisation is def the way to go as you suggest. Avoiding too much edge effect is going to be the key I think, but I haven't started playing around with this yet so that's only opinion.

What do you think of the open topped channels idea I described the other day for this?
An open topped tray or set of channels that all have contacts and get
volts as a group. Contacts might be a batch run of metal
rectangles folded into a C shape that clips around the ends of channels. One leg of the
C would contact cast gel, one leg would contact another metal contact that is
part of the electrophoresis volt source module that hold the channels during a run.
