Or, here's an alternative idea, more aggressive:

What if Eglot just sets project-mode-line=t in eglot-managed buffers, and
removes the project-name from the Eglot entry entirely?

Then the language identifier would be the major mode, the project
identifier would be project-mode-line, and the eglot status indicator would
just be for the status of the server.
