I appreciate the effort but I think the fundamental challenge with "picturing" an atom is that, at that scale, visual information is no longer useful.

It is a shortcut for the imagination. (For people less trained, for example) From there it may be easier / quicker to understand how all this works. From an educational point of view it may therefore be useful.

A fundamental restriction of our mind is that it's all about shapes. The atom is where we meet a shapeless thing for the first time - the electron - and I think this is why all attempts to explain electron orbitals resort to nondescript formulas.
