My concern is that in my case, my 6AT has very likely suffered glazing of the clutches.

I've gone out on cold nights and done a single 3rd gear pull; at no point do fluid temps exceed 200F. It still slips, which suggests that heat isn't the primary culprit (in my case).
Why don't you just do the swap as a rebuilt AT will be a pretty dime, if you did the work a swap will probably be in the same price range
