Kinesis Advantage360 ZMK vs SmartSet
All in all, I'm quite happy with it. SmartSet is much more accessible than most of the custom stuff I have around (actually my favorite custom firmware thus far is the very underrated EasyAVR).

I buildt myself a macro-keyboard
I recommend looking at EasyAVR and its use with custom boards. This may be easier than working through the Arduino IDE once you get the initial legwork done. There are lots of alternatives too, such as:

Home-row mods - will I get used to it?
I had trouble with HMR as well at the beginning, but since switching to sunaku's fork/PR I've almost eliminated all the issues I had with it. And worth mentioning is urob's timeless HMR config from which I think the fork/PR takes some of its inspiration.

Spring Cleaning/Codeing
Affirmative. I updated my fork and my clone last week. I also did a second, fresh clone and merged this PR: https://github.com/manna-harbour/qmk_firmware/pull/56

𝑥MK: Use programmable keyboard firmware with any keyboard.
I have a separate system for that as part of this old unreleased project. They're orthogonal so could be used together, but it'd be nicer if they were integrated. If you just want to remap buttons or map buttons to keys you can do that in the OS.

BATTLESHIP ERGO(but dumb?)
Well, things like Bilateral Combinations are aware of which hand is using the modifier to only apply it to the other side's presses & minimise accidental triggering on same-hand rolls.
