Recommendations for this approach (2026 edition)

Looking for honest feedback, not validation. Posting this here because the relevant subreddit has gotten too noisy lately.

Spent the last few weekends digging into this and the deeper I go the more questions I have. Not sure if this is the right place to ask, mods please remove if it is not.

I want to write something more comprehensive about this later but starting with a quick post to gather thoughts. Been thinking about this for a while and curious what the community thinks.
