(passing data around) Is this good practice for my personal

Hi all,
I have just put together a tentative proof of concept MVC framework proposal.
After many weeks of slogging through an array of PHP MVC tutorials and courses (some of which I paid for) I have decided to strip back all the frills, bells and whistles to try and put together a core proof of concept that uses best practices.
In this simplified example I am trying to test the viability of the framework itself... so there is no routing code or query string management and the controller and action are hard coded.
Here is the repository: https://github.com/JethroHazelhurst/psr-4-mvc
I like this framework because it:

and here is a print_r of my Object structure:

Questions
I am interested in hearing any feedback on the idea... I can't see any glaring issues at them moment. Some questions in the back of my mind are:
It seems like there are a million ways to write an MVC framework, I am confused as to which way is best practice.
EDIT: Hmm, can't seem to get a list to display here...

I like this framework because it:
- Has clear seperation of concerns
- Is not cluttered with static functions
- Is clearly namespaced - thanks to the PSR-4 autoloading
- Has a clear way of passing data to and from the model - e.g. $this->_view->foo = $this->_model->getBar();

I am interested in hearing any feedback on the idea... I can't see any glaring issues at them moment. Some questions in the back of my mind are:
- Are there any dangers in heavily depending on the parent::__construct() function to call parent classes?
- In the controller, is passing data from Model to View using $this->_view->foo = $this->_model->getBar(); good practice?
- Are there any dangers in using Namespaces?
