Sidi wides - not that wide. Basically a regular.

Try Lake wides. Perfect for me and I’ve got hobbit like flippers

How much toe spring and arch support in the Lakes?

Lake still have a tapered toe box, and considerable toe spring. Those just suggesting the wide options of traditionally shaped shoes aren't understanding the concept. This may help...

I've been using those correct toes for a while. They are what saved the wife from bunion surgery.

Would be great to find cycling shoes that let me use them, but I'd settle some some that just didn't bend my toes back in.

I haven't used them (or heard of them before this thread), it was just the first page I found that adequately described foot shape and toe spring. And toe spring , while not a new concept to me isn't something I had given much thought to.
