Hi
The problem is that the pan pot needs slugging resistors to achieve the -3dB down in the centre. You also need one or two pots to perform the pan, then there's the bus resistors hanging off it. You also mentioned four aux sends which are four pots, plus the bus resistor, all either hanging on the fader wiper or the input source.
You have to go from low impedance to high impedance to minimise the loading effect of the pan and aux pots on the fader, but then you'd be presenting a very low impedance to the source and still have a relatively high source impedance to the following circuitry.
Honestly, by the time you bought the transformers, the faders, the pots, the metalwork, the knobs, etc., you could have bought the Toft console and have more features than you originally proposed.
There's a reason why folk don't build a big passive console like you described... too many performance compromises.
