I have one. Very similar in specs and interior layout (though reversed) to an Islander 28, which is a pretty good boat to copy.

I have plenty of room on the sides, but the front to back room in my head is more limiting. In order to conserve as much of that dimension as possible for knees, I’d like to put the toilet right up...

Re: Nature's head clearance question
That does make sense - many of the installation photos on line are this way. My installation would overhang somewhat also, but the more critical dimension in my case is knee clearance in front.

Re: How do I avoid "discharging oil"?
Yup. That’s one of the reasons why I don’t use the shower. Another being that I can’t stand up in it. And another being that I don’t have the FW tankage to support it.
In fact, I think the only...

Depends on the boat. My shower drains to the bilge. And there is no well under the engine. If my engine was drippy (which it fortunately is not), and I used the on board shower (which I do not), I...
