so the backslash is not "necessary". - As you say, the '|' needs no
[spurious] continuation escape character if you have it at the end
of a command. - After the lines that define the here-doc (for 'nl's
redirection) the pipe command gets continued on the subsequent line,
which is the line after the "EOF".

Yes, that works, too.  Thanks.

Somewhat surprisingly (to me, anyway), I think I actually prefer to stick
with; > >(cmd ...)

That has a certain beauty to it.
