Modifying a DI box to have reduced channel separation comes to mind as
constituting "something clever".

That's what I meant about wanting to do something 'clever'.

Kind of depends on the purpose. If for recording, especially into a DAW,
then certainly record in stereo, preferably to one stereo track. Then
any channel splitting and tricky panning can be easily done afterwards.

If for live performance, then I'd go the Mono route. Unless happy to
have a keyboard spanning the whole sound-stage. Alternative is the
fiddly effort required to pan across just a specific narrower spread,
using two mixer channels.

Narrower stereo could be very useful because it allows the keyboards
internal reverb to perceptually fill the room.

However a keyboard with a TRS output only likely will not have a mono
output or doscrete channels option available. With separate L and R out
jacks there is usually L/Mono and R, with the summed Mono function of
the L jack being internally defeated (to give discrete L and R) when the
R jack is inserted.
