At this point it might be good to review the question under discussion.
It appears the total number of future passives is 295 (according to the
morphological search on Logos). But, this includes both 1st and 2nd
future passives. Apparently, the total of 1st future passives is
somewhat less, maybe even 271, as suggested by my earlier search with the
rather complex search parameters set (apparently no other way to
determine 1st future passives on Logos).
I thought the question related to the first future passives indicated by
the -QH* ending. It dealt particularly with whether the first future
passive forms could be either middle or passive in meaning. Perhaps
others were thinking that the 2nd future passive forms tended to be more
middle than passive. If so, this helps clarify the discussion
considerably. I really haven't studied the 2nd perfect passives and it
may be that they are more middle than passive, after all.
