> 1T-1C SRAM

Aka eDRAM? It was a thing back on 14nm node, but AFAIR not so much anymore. The 1C part is hard to get right in a way that is compatible with a logic process.

It gets confusing...

eDRAM isn't the same as 1T-SRAM, which isn't quite the same as 1T-1C SRAM...

But overall they run into the same problems that you mention; it's just too hard to get a capacitor in play.

There is Zeno Semi's Bi-SRAM, buuuut it hasn't seemed to catch on for one reason or another.

Looks cool, but isn't it by definition planar process-only, no FinFET for you?

I'll admit I am not well versed on this subject on any measure, but there is this [0] paper indicating FinFET is doable, although IDK if there's any sort of hand-waving or other limitations involved.
