Can't find F13-24 labels
You can create F13-F24 purely in software with key mapping tools. On Windows, one way is with the PowerToys Keyboard Manager: remap some unimportant keys to F13, F14, etc. Another way is with KMonad (cross platform), and define the keymap with KeyF13, KeyF14, etc.

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.

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.
