Excellent thread. Thanks for raising these questions.

I wonder if "dueness" could be indicated by a colored dot before the item's name. (That is, between the checkbox and the name, as if the colored dot was the first character of the item's name.) I think I would like having that important information up front. Having a dot that just represents the dueness would let me scan quickly for soon/due items without having additional information, like actual due date, impinging on my brain at the same time.
