I didn't spend a lot of time on this so I wouldn't give up just yet.
The thing I couldn't get to work was automatically starting column view
in my block agenda.  I can still manually do that with C-c C-x C-c

I think that should be possible.

In column view you can see the data in any agenda view.  Dates are
normally only displayed in the "agenda" view which includes the
time grid.  This would only show past due and past scheduled items and
deadlines within deadline warning period.

Is column view in the agenda acceptable? I don't know of another way to
display the deadline and schedule information you want.

I can take another look at this over the weekend id you like.
