5 entirely seperate movies(because that's what you would need), not including Sacchin doesnt sound practical at all.
Especially given how different the industry is from 2000, Kohaku's story would super not go over well in general.
If you want to make a story about the core of Tsukihime, the Tsukihime, the manga's route is the best way to go.
HF movie got away with slight implication and a tame sex scene this time, Tsukihime's events would never be allowed. Someone said it a while ago, but KnK itself was fashioned in a different era. The industry has become less tolerant of that kind of thing being displayed in a mainstream medium, movie or not.
I'm thinking two separate anime projects mite b cool, first one for Near side content and then another for Far side content. Mostly just because I myself much prefer Far side and wanna see it as an anime but there's no way they'd go straight for a Tsukihime without the titular tsukihime.
I do think that balancing Near and Far side routes is possible if you're willing to really shift stuff around chronologically.
Namely pushing Shiki's meeting with Arcueid back a bit to focus on the Far side stuff first. The manga's idea to feature SHIKI first who then becomes Roa towards the end was a good idea, if could be handled better.

Fate/Stay Night remake with more routes, thanks.
I doubt there will ever be a FSN remake since it keeps getting ported to modern platforms and the production values are still decent enough to this day, and scenes that really got juiced up in Realta Nua are quite impressive even.
And even then, could aspects of the original idea have really worked, like how at one point you could somehow switch between choosing to follow Shirou vs choosing to follow Rin?
Or how stuff like the Rider route would've had Saber switch to Rin and the two becoming opponents? Or how choosing certain choices would halfway through Sakura's route would lead to choosing the Illya route?
After experiencing Mahoyo, I'd be interested in seeing something lower scale but still interesting to follow in the Nasuverse.
Like for example, a bunch of wannabe exorcists who get into hijinks as they investigate cases of the supernatural.

No clue if this is what you had in mind, but now I can't help but imagine a version of Scooby Doo set in the Nasuverse (movie ver: where the gnarly monsters end up proving to be mostly real instead of crooks in masks). A bunch of bumbling wannabe exorcists out to make a quick buck who probably don't even believe in the paranormal stuff they're ostensibly looking for end up stumbling upon a real evil spirit or demon and are forced to deal with it.
Actually, that could make for a cool idea for a story even with no connection to the Nasuverse. Has anything like that been done before?
Scooby Doo in the Nasuverse just makes me think "What if the current stories had a Scooby Doo Ending?"
Tohno: "Now to take off that Mask. Roa is really... SHIKI?!?"
SHIKI: "That's right Tohno! And I would have gotten away with it, if it hadn't been for that meddling Maid, and her darn drugs!"

Caster.
Kuzuki was finding this young woman to be particularly strange.
Found alone in the rain, nearly dying and asking him to make a contract of sorts with her. Then telling him an elaborate, complicated story on being a 'Servant' for a 'Holy Grail War' and explaining a long set of related rules even though it was clear, as she spoke, she wasn't placing too much stock on those rules herself. Her tone was that of a skeptic, of that there was no doubt.
But then the other Servants started showing up around the temple, looking to kill them. Or claiming to want for a truce of sorts in this War he apparently had gotten himself involved into. Since two of those claiming they wanted to talk were his students Emiya and (although reluctantly) Tohsaka, he had been tempted to agree, but Caster had stopped him from doing so.
Then the problems had really started.
When the Servants started coming after them in full force, Caster proved her resourcefulness at keeping them back, at the very least. For someone calling herself a Caster, she showed no magic skills, and claimed having none, but even so, she had a high skill for developing plans and traps to stop and stall their enemies, and to gather information on them. Kuzuki had helped her with his assassin skills, noting it was slightly strange how he, good as he was, could even put dents on such mythical warriors. Along the way, he once asked Caster who had taught her how to make a whole temple an unescapable massive trap. She only shrugged and said she had picked up from an old friend.
Even so, eventually it wasn't enough. Surrounded from all sides, and with a new, fearsome enemy in golden armor showing up out of nowhere and more than willing to kill them, Caster had to play her ultimate card.
"Reality Marble! End of the Mystery!"
Then, for some reason, police cars had arrived, encircling the temple. "Crap, we've been found out! I told you guys this was a bad idea!" Emiya said, already dropping to his knees and putting his hands behind his neck.
Kuzuki stared with a neutrally shocked, flatly impressed, expression as the police began handcuffing the other Masters and Servants one by one.
Caster smiled at him, rearranging her glasses on her freckled face. "It's simple, Kuzuki-sensei. This 'Grail War' has been an elaborate ruse to wrestle the Ryuudouji Temple away from you. You'll see, the real reason for the Fuyuki Fires of ten years ago was there are large amounts of oil, gas and other valuable resources under Fuyuki, but they all are highly unstable and dangerous, except for those located under the temple. The influential Einzbern, Tohsaka and Matou families all wanted your temple, as well as the Fujimura Yakuza, but they knew you weren't the easily scared type, so they resorted to this complex hoax to try and scare you away."
"... Well, " Kuzuki said, unblinking at the outrageously bogus story. "However, as for all those spells and magical attacks..."
"State of the art holograms and special effects, " Caster said.
Kuzuki looked questioningly at where Berserker was being held by several police agents. "What about that monster? There's no way he can be human."
"Of course he is..." Caster walked over to Berserker to pull his face away, revealing the angry face of Fujimura Taiga under it. "... or should I say 'she'? As your colleague, and heiress of the Fujimura Gang, Tiger-sensei knew enough about you to coordinate this whole attack. She's been the mastermind behind this the whole time!"
"Yes! Yes, it was me!" Taiga roared. "And I'd have gotten away with it if not for you, Kuzuki, and your meddling Servant! AND DON'T CALL ME TIGER...!"
Caster smiled kindly at him.
"..." Kuzuki said before asking, just as emotionless as before, "And you...?"
"Oh, jinkies, no, I just happened to... be passing around, and... I played along. Yes. That's it. There's no more to it. After all, " she half-sighed for a moment, "There's no way things like magic can be real, is there?"
She bowed for him and began walking away, looking slightly melancholic as she disappeared into the night.
The last thing he heard from her was a whisper to herself, "It just doesn't end the same without the dog making a lame wisecrack..."
