Otherwise, it seems to me that a book will end up being discussed for maybe two weeks, tops, then everyone will go silent for 10 weeks till the next book. And if someone skips a book, it's a 22-week gap. If the hope is to keep the club as a going concern, it needs to become a habit, and can you develop a habit with such long gaps?

There won't be a gap. There will be non-classic (public domain classics) books to read and discuss. So making it a classic only book club is not a good idea. We should try to have something for everyone (or as many as possible).
