Unsatisfied with colemak qix, should I switch to something else?
No problem, see this discussion on the Engram forums for more ideas on Q and Z placement: there are non-magical solutions such as combos, hold-taps, etc. In particular, this layout has been applied successfully to an even smaller 26+6 keyboard, as a precedent.

APT (V1?) vs Engram
I've considered both the earlier version of APT, as well as Engram, with these layouts putting punctuation on the center index columns.

Starting my journey with colemak. This title took me about 2 minutes and cost me a headache.

Just ordered 3x keyboards! Sofle Choc, Charybdis, and the new v2 Dilemma! Never had a split before and want to see what works for me!
On leaving QWERTY, you might also consider Arno's Engram 2.0 layout, which places all punctuation in the central columns so that your 8 touch typing fingers go straight up and down, effectively staying in their columns all the time. I've used Engram exclusively since the past 2 years (after 6 months of BEAKL-15, 16 years of Dvorak, and 6 years of QWERTY) and I've written about my experience with it here. Moreover, if you prefer standard shifted pairs (e.g. so quotes don't shift into parentheses), I've created a programmer-friendly variant called the "Engrammer" layout that helps maintain cross-proficiency with standard keyboards.

Engram[mer] - Arno's Engram layout for programmers
Specifically, the main distinction between this layout and Arno's Engram, is that this layout retains standard shifting (e.g. Shift-Quote produces DoubleQuote rather than OpenParenthesis) in order to lower the cognitive barrier when having to use standard or non-programmable keyboards. This discussion elaborates further:

Why are there no spanish layouts?
I've already talked with the dev to try to create a spanish variant of Engram, but since this is a subreddit of some keyboard layouts nerds like me who have some skills in creating layouts, I ask YOU if you could help create the perfect spanish layout. It's not easy, maybe too complex right now and there needs to be some adjustment... but come on, we NEED a spanish layout! 500 million of potential native writers will thank you for that in the long therm.

Confused on which finger to use for which key on Canary
https://github.com/Apsu/Canary I don't understand the sections on row stagger and angle mod. Please could someone explain in simple terms where to rest my fingers and which finger to use for each key. Thank you so much.

2 questions that are unrelated to each other
Keyboard layouts that are worth checking out are Canary, Graphite and Semimak. From what I understand they have all been made in the last two years. I'm biased in favor of Canary as it's very similar to Colemak which made the switch easy for me and I find it really comfortable, but the only thing that really matters is your personal experience when actually typing on the layout, not all the statistics that some people obsess over endlessly.

How are the trigram stats for Canary calculated?
At https://github.com/Apsu/Canary, it's stated that Canary has 55% of all trigrams as rolls.
-
Colemak adapted for french (EU bigram)
Try Canary layout https://github.com/Apsu/Canary It is very similar to Colemak DH and having E and U at different fingers. But, E and O is now at the same finger, isn’t that an issue for French typing?
-
Well-known optimized layouts
Romak also has some very nice attributes, as do poqtea and uciea. I also find Canary to have a lot of merit.

APT (V1?) vs Engram
My current layout, Canary, wouldn't be a great fit for this board, as with the reduction of six keys from a 34-key layout, six letters would be need to be under either a combo or layer, which I'm not too comfortable with.
-
Home-row mods - will I get used to it?
I use hrm with canary layout, which puts the most used keys on the home row, so that means that I tap on the hrm keys the most. And I have pretty much 0 mistakes.

I type 120wpm qwerty... can colemak offer a significant improvement? (and will I lose my qwerty ability if I switch?)
The homepages for Semimak JQ and Sturdy include thoughts by their respective creators on the layouts' strengths and weaknesses, though surely with a little bias =) The Canary homepage has detailed description of its Colemak-inspired design.
-
Where to put 'arrow' keys (hjkl) on Canary keyboard layout?
I use Canary ortho https://github.com/Apsu/Canary
-
Vim + 360 Advantage + new layout?
Quick note about ortho vs column stagger vs row stagger when it comes to layouts: they generally don't make a difference, though sometimes you still want to make a change. This is most often with regards to upper + lower inner index vs howerow inner index, like on Canary (note the difference between the indexes of the ortho and the regular variant).
