I've cut the rest, but basically I agree with everything you have said.
What I'd throw into the mix, however, would be my view that we'd be a yo-yo side because the divisions are too small in size. 12- and 10-team divisions are just ridiculous.
I was thinking about this before the match with Brechin. Yes, we are in the Championship and they are in the Highland League, but if you look at the teams' positions and the size of the divisions, then we are only 27 places above them. That's only 3 more than the size of each of the lower divisions in England, where a draw between two teams from different divisions may be unexpected, but is hardly a great shock.
And, harking back to what Mr Bannerman, late of this parish, once said, I find it difficult to believe that there is enough support and spare money in the Highlands to maintain two top-12 clubs less than 14 miles apart.
Clearly, it would be different if the top tier had, say, 18 clubs in it.
Now that we are past the fight for survival through the pandemic, it is surely time to look again at league reform.
