Here you go. The XT25BG variety uses a larger motor and chamber.
As you'll see from the attached XSim, the two drivers have a lot of overlap, plenty easy to make them work together, and a good sounding choice.
Relatively narrow sweet spot, but not unpleasant off-axis.
The measurements were taken in cabinet but from two different speakers I've made, so please use only as a proof of concept.

Here is a picture of the two drivers. Measurements at 3' (but it 2 diff. cabinets!) taken to be reference guide for close-mic applications.
I think the overlap in FR is plenty. 🙂 May take a little fiddling, but a 2 kHz Xover is possible and a good fit for both drivers.

Wow thank you so much! You're obviously a very talented crossover designer (I have a long way to go)
If I used this tweeter, might it benefit from a waveguide? I'd like to incorporate a shallow-ish waveguide via cnc'd baffle/rear mount whichever tweet I decide on.
Another 'wildcard' option is a soon to be released ribbon tweet, which in theory could meet that woofer, just.

Bill,
That image is NOT from a working single speaker. 🙂 I leave the final measurements and therefore crossover design up to you. 🙂 So there is no evidence here I know anything about crossover design, just that I happened to have measurements for two of the drivers you are considering. 🙂
Many have used this tweet in a wave guide (Krell, YG Acoustics, Sonus Faber) however, the output is slightly narrow as is. Depends what you are looking to do with it. Magico used it kind of like you are thinking, removing the faceplate and mounting the motor to the front baffle from behind. The Magico Mini however used it as a front mount.

Back from the dead again....
Has anyone done this? How did it turn out?
I'm considering doing the same as a large bookshelf/standmount 18W4531G with XT25BG in a waveguide. It'll be for my 12'x14' office where I sit in the exact same spot 99.9% of the time.

Also interested in how this turned out or would like to hear about any other successes with this woofer.

Madisound's recommendations for these drivers are right on the money.
