Interesting design - saw it for the first time.
Not the usual current mirror or differential amp after the variable
gm diff pair, but a loop to keep the current in one branch constant,
not unlike expo converters ... interesting !

Should work fine, like the one-pnp solution for ota vcas. A linear VCA with
an exponential part at the low end, or an exponential VCA with a limited
slope at the upper (dB) end, depending on the way you look at it.
Noise ?
