Well, you could always build some outdoor mausoleums, or a pyramid - Just wall around each level once it's full and build a floor above it.

Also coffins do block pathing... ( I need to do all my smoothing/ engraving first).  My dining rooms tend to be stupidly large... so I'm not to worried abour fort space.
Are you sure?  I normally use large rooms filled with wall to wall coffins for my non-noble burials, and I've never had trouble with them pathing to coffins in the center of the room to bury someone.  Maybe they prefer to not path through coffins, but can if there is no other way.

Shame I can't put them outside... I could line the road to the Trade depot with them.
If you really want to do this, you could build a roof over the side of the road to make them indoor tiles.  I don't think they need dark/subterranean for coffins.

I will run the experiment to completion anyway, however. Even if the only reason why there is a punctured equilibrium in the fortress is because I have been brutally butchering babies
EDIT: I just remembered that dwarves can't equip halberds. That might explain why the squads that use them always die.

I could be wrong... I just remember having walls that were never touched by my engravers after coffins were put up along side of them.

That's what DF needs, The gutbuster brigade.  Screw that elf and his cat. Thibbledorf Pwent is the real hero.

Wires crossed here. - You're right that coffins, like statues block access so you have to engrave first. I was suggesting an alternative to lining the roads with them.

You could mass-deconstruct them when you are done with the fort and have it instantly fill with horrible ghosts
