I think you should put lightspren as the Willshaper spren. We met Captain Ico, the lightspren, who says (1) his father is a deadeye and (2) his daughter "ran away to chase dreams" [paraphrasing] We know that Eshonai sure fits the description of a Willshaper and it looks like she was trying to bond Timbre. Timbre later says something about her grandfather being betrayed (killed in the recreance?) which links her to Captain Ico. So, Timbre is a lightspren. Then we know that Dalinar said he was missing on of the orders at the end there and Willshapers are the only ones unaccounted for. It also works, since had Eshonai not died, she could have been there. Instead, Timbre had to restart the bonding process. Thus Venli is the missing Willshaper and Timbre is a lightspren so lightspren are the Willshaper spren.

What do you mean about possession being a no no? Has Brandon talked about that?

Hey everyone, I finally decided to make an account with 17th Shard! I'm excited to be here and hope I can contribute.
