Something I thought about, If the lockup assembly in a torque converter was a synchro assembly there would be no chance of slipping once locked... Im not sure if you could fit one in the converter but it seems it could be designed to work. food for thought.
Torque converter with a synchro lockup?

Doesn't ATS have some sort of mechanical locking system on their high end converters?

The only converter that I know of that has a mechanical locking system is the Dunrite converters that Rip @ Source Auto sells.

It has been a while since I have talked to Rip about it. IIRC he was telling me they have a mechanical provision inside that hold more pressure on the lock up clutch than just the hydraulic pressure. Shoot him an e mail or give him a call. I am sure he has a lot more info on it than I do and would prob be more than happy to explain it.
