This last line can be removed if you rename `tj-mode-map` to `tj-minor-mode-map`.

This is redundant with the keymap setup of `define-minor-mode`, so you'd
be better off just not using the :keymap of `define-minor-mode`.

No, `define-minor-mode` does not support that.

Not a good idea either.

But you can simply your various keymaps to `emulation-mode-map-alists`
manually like you already do.
