Port-a-crib in FC or BC where personal space around seat permits - anyone done it?

Searched and didn't find anything. We have an 11 month old, but really tall/long. She already outsizes most bassinets, which frankly we did not realize would be the case when booking some premium award tickets at the 330 day window. So it is what it is, and it ain't changin' now. We have 5 or 6 upcoming nonstop international longhauls in premium cabins, mostly first class. Airlines in question are ANA, SQ, CX, JAL, AF and VS. So wisdom aside, our baby technically will be a lap child in almost all cases.

My specific question is this. Where one's "personal space" surrounding one's seat is large enough to accommodate it, has anyone ever used a small port-a-crib for a lap infant? Any advice? Any particular models which work well as a piece of carry on baggage?

I am thinking for example the solo seat in row 1 on SQ 747's, or the 1AC area on JAL Skysleeper duo's with miles and miles ahead of you (setting the port a crib by the window, extending the aisle seat to a bed and then Dad is in the window seat not fully reclined).

Thoughts on this? (Hoping to avoid the moral debate over whether we are "good people" or "bad people".) Thanks!
