Based on your experience it sounds like 360 SUrround would not deliver that for me.
I don't use it for side clearance. I just fold my mirrors before pulling into the garage. Also, since it is the same garage every time, I get to know what line to use to clear the side.

On the other hand, the front camera can be useful for not hitting parking stops, etc. I use that one a lot.

The retrofit would be expensive, especially having to replace the side mirrors. You might consider just the front mirror.
