It is a bad idea to make a MA-20 clone with a V9958 since the majority of MSX2+ games (all?) do direct access to VDP.
Well, they exist. I don’t mind the idea, it doesn’t hurt anyone and is kind of neat if you plan to support this MA-20 clone in new software that uses or can use the V9958. And maybe Space Manbow will have smooth scrolling with it. If it works. But it’s already a hit-and-miss with these cartridges anyway, nobody will (should) buy it expecting it to just work.
I have never seen a CX11 with S3527, only with X3527.
I think the X3527 is the previous version of the S3527. The X3527 was in the first CX7M and YIS-604 commercial although these MSX of next generation had finally the S3527.

The Wiki page about the CX11 does not say the contrary:
* Chipset Yamaha S3527 (actually a X3527)
* The CX11 is a MSX1 with a Z80A from Sharp (LH0080A), a V9938 (MSX2) VDP and a MSX-Engine X3527 (silicon prototype of S3527) from Yamaha.
