Though I'm not entirely sure if I'm won over by it. It's interesting, but they also become a bit jarring when every other unit frame has bars, and here this one comes with a red overlay over the portrait.

Yeah the red isn't very appealing to myself which is why I was suggesting possibly having a ring texture around the unit frame. You could have a split ring texture for like player/target and then 1 single for every other frame you're going to be using a circle frame on. To add more attention grabbing type of stuff you could create a glow texture for threat and another for when the player gets below x% (the low hp could even pulsate).
