Solid breakdown. The only thing I would add is to back up before making the change — better safe than sorry.

Tried this on a staging copy first and it behaved exactly as described. Confident enough to roll it to production now.

Thanks for writing this up. Bookmarking it — the kind of thing I will want to reference again in a month.

This is the answer I wish I had found six months ago. Would have saved me a weekend of trial and error.
