Is the bold part valid? nanpa nimi en poki nimi is more conservative but dropping the 1st nimi doesn't hurt ineligibility and is just more wordy.ni li musi kin. toki lili ale li musi tawa mi. nasin nimi li ante tan nasin nimi pi toki pona. taso nanpa en poki nimi li sama toki pona.

Hmmmm. I can't remember how that plays out in my grammar -- not that that answers the question -- but it looks right to me.

Re: Modifiers of an en phrase valid?
German doesn't apply, alas, even if the first is grammatical but unclear. Mato's tp is, I think grammatical, but admittedly unclear. But most cases of modifiers with any break from the standard format are unclear: three words after 'pi' for example.
sitelen e seme
'pi' needs at least two content words after it, so 'pi nimi' won't do, unless you are suggesting a change to deal with this situation, as your second form suggests ('pi' has to come after a noun phrase).
sitelen e seme

I think it was "But the number and classes of words are the same as tp"
