I'm a total newbie to the list but hope to build a 9A in a couple years.
Regarding the control stick - would it be feasible to machine the stick in
such a way as it can be telescoped out (and locked) for take off and landin
g but collapsed during regular flight?

Everyone is different, and in that respect, I find any type of stick
grip unusable, even when I am using a flight simulator on the
computer. I find that I can not get fine precise movement when I put
my entire hand on the stick grip. Same with the airplane.
I learned how to fly a sensitive aircraft from an F-4 pilot when he
told me that in cruise he rested his forearm on his thigh and used
the tip of this index finger and thumb to fly the aircraft. I find
that works well with my RV. But for aerobatics, I have my full fist
on the top of the stick. And sometimes I use both hands on the
stick, not because of the stick forces, but for more precise control
when doing large control deflections.
Some people may be making more out of this stick grip thing than is
necessary. I know before I flew my airplane I wanted to install
them, but after flying for a few years, I can not imagine how I could
possible use them. I do use both my left and right hand to fly the
aircraft and as I recall the stick grips are mostly right or left handed.

stick with arm resting on my leg. My thought was that a telescoping stick might
provide both requirements, although I admit it makes the system more complicated.

I recently installed a Gretz tube in the outboard (aileron bellcrank) cover.
I duplicated the cover in .040 2024 and made a doubler a bit larger than the
base of the tube with an extension on it on which I mounted the circuit board.
Makes for easy connection & inspection. You will have to take care when
attaching tiedowns, but I believe the benefits outweigh this. I also discussed
this with Warren Gretz and he saw no downside. Photo available if interested...

I fly with my hand resting on my thigh and my fingers below the top of the
stick.
I have no need to hold my hand higher and my landings are usually good.
I would fly an RV then forget about this idea.
