It looks interesting, though I'd probably go for duck liver if I found it at
a decent price.

I frequently use salted onions when when raw is called for. Cut onion into
thin slices. Sea salt each side, and let sit 30-60 minutes. This cuts the
bite of the raw onion quite a bit. Another thing I do in a dish like this is
to use homemade pickled onions. They're excellent with duck liver pate.
