Comment on DPA on a Taylor - DPA 4099G is the best acoustic guitar mike I found.
There are plenty youtube videos for that.
The 4099 are there with different holders for violin etc, for other acoustic instruments.
The "G" is typical guitar use that fits easy on body.
An IR has only the ability to transform input through math and make an output.
So what output would sound like depends on input to such a degree, I wonder if of any use at all, sorry.
Fishman Aura and similar techniques try to do this, to make guitar sound even better than it is.
But then you have acoustic guitar signal input to start with.
There are piezo bridges as replacements directly for ABS and Nashville type of Gibson bridges.
But installed and ready it costs($50 plus labour to modify your guitar body) as a better sounding acoustic guitar - so unless live situation and needing to switch in an instant, not so useful. I know Musicman guitars have models with piezos as standard, like Petrucci use etc.
About your idea - I don't know if you can first make a recording for an acoustic and then from an electric - and make an IR that would transform these two. So in that way can make it useful.
I know AXE FX II processor do this kind of thing. You can take a guitar sound from a recording and make your own guitar sound like it. Works best for solo tones only, really. There are yourtube videos on that too.
TBH, you video - I hear nothing like an acoustic guitar in there.
