That said, imagining the height limit were lifted for the sake of argument, I think a 230-260m tower with some heft and possibly terminating in a pinnacle or spire would fit the skyline nicely.

I concur. A couple of 230-260m towers with striking architectural features on the crowns would tie the skyline together quite well while keeping the general height ceiling at ~200m.
A supertall would be nice but it would be too disproportionate. There would need to be multiple 250m-ish buildings to balance the skyline out, which I don't think is what Montreal wants to go for.
