Yes, the nozzles would drip. If not level to each other, the lower one drips, but at equal height they don't.
The 6-7780 might work for you. So much depends on the output swath width (and height from ground, speed and droplet size). I’m 6’ 2” and I walk at a “treadmill speed”. The 80 degree red tee jet only gives me an 18” swath, so a 17” double nozzle is ~35”. I get that using a 110 degree red, without having to swap out wands. It might have a thinner spray, but I would make that adjustment when mixing the concentration.
FWIW, I saved this concept drawing on my Google drive. It's first stage, but might be some food for thought. I originally was going to make one at 24”. I ended up getting the same size swath as drawing, but less overlap.

Oops. I wrote that last thing incorrectly. I meant the drawing’s scale ended up being true, but with the 34” boom I got 10” onto ~49” making it around 59”…which ended up being good…

Re: __JT’s__2017 front yard_renovation_
Hmmm. Makes me think you don't want too much overlap between the jets, too much concentrated product. Your fancy SketchUp illustration shows that to some degree .

It turned out good that the boom was spaced out more than illustration (just a sketch to wrap my brain around it). But on that note, the patterns are ellipses (not circles in perspective) so some overlap is necessary, because if they were toe to toe, there would be more concentration in the center.
