that looks amazing, but I kinda wish that certain ligatures were optional (which they might be, need to look at the CSS docs again for atom) I (personally) don't exactly want == to look too similar to a single =, after all!

They don't. The == variant is has double the width.

I am aware, I still find them too similar for my likings

Probably not possible with ligatures/glyph variants but really cool would be grouping of numbers: In groups of three the first digit would be moved to the right and the last one to the left to simulate a narrow space as thousands separator.

I suspect that it's possible, but would require an impractical number (1000) of ligatures in the font.
