Man, with time travel shenanigans and losing items on going back in time and its saving restrictions, this game's less Ghost Trick and more Majora's Mask as a puzzle game.
You're right, though. I really hope there's a way to save absolutely everyone in one run. Final mission probably not, but maybe as a personal challenge kinda thing.
It's also a bit of Metroidvania, what with gating you off from certain areas with doors that can only be opened once you've earned certain abilities.

I think we're spatially as well as temporally locked. We are bound to the casino for now. Trying to leave might even go so far as rewinding the clock every time we try.
Not sure they'd actually put that in, though. Have we even seen the front door? A service entrance?
The room we woke up in after solving the Sixpence murder has a space on the southern wall we can examine that explicitly says "There should be a door here, but there isn't."

So I've been doing the math on trying to save all the guests at once, and yeah, it just doesn't seem possible with travel time. Best I can come up with:
Start in the chapel: the blank is available at 1:35.
The gun becomes available at 1:55, and must be altered by 2:30.
Next, head to the music area. The murderer there will leave to check on the record at 2:15 - you've got to grab the record, put it in the closet, and then be ready to grab the key and lock him in.
Now you've got to book it to complete the Hungry Charm and be in the secret room. The candle becomes available at 3:30 and MUST be put out by 4:30.
Then - downstairs. You can get the CCTV switched over any time between 4:10 and 10:25, but this is a good time since you're down there.
The VIP statue can be changed after 3:05. Then it's down to grab the broken arm and switch that statue.
Next, run to the theatre. You've got some time here, but you need to turn on the breaker and then be at the second switch between 8:40 and 9:50.
After that, back down to the stairway area - you can flip the last statue any time after 8:50, but it must be completed before 10:35.
It's that opening section that's the trouble. I don't think it's possible to get Tequila's sequence done in time to complete the Hungry Charm, unless putting out the candle after Willow is hypnotized and leaves works. You could try doing the Hungry Charm first, but that wouldn't leave enough time to get down to the chapel to save Reggie.
No, once Willow leaves she's locked into her death. Moreover, the pipe will only pour out the water to put out the lit candle during her attempted takeover. She, Sixpence, and Redd/Grayson have the strictest timing for saving.

Bounde said Lafcadio had been dying with Sixpence up to this point. I suppose if Lucas thought he had killed Lafcadio in the blast and then got a visit from him, he could have interpreted that as "wait, maybe there's a chance..."
Actually, what if no one died, but Lucas thinks they did, and that is what he's torturing himself over. The only word we have that anyone died comes from spectres of a presumably damaged mind.
He says he served time in jail, which presumably means (if this isn't a hallucination on the operating table) the police and courts had reason to believe the people he believes he murdered really are dead.
