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

Help with getting homerow modifiers up and running
Im guessing installing something like this is what i need to do? https://github.com/manna-harbour/qmk_firmware/pull/56
- My endgame for home row mods & chords in Vial/QMK

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.

Making a Keyboard Layout
You could try to use https://github.com/manna-harbour/xmk from the same developer in order to run Miryoku on every keyboard.
-
Is it possible to connect both sides individually with two separate USB cables?
I have a software solution for that, but it's Linux only, and also you'd have to use KMonad or 𝑥MK for the keymap.
- Any suggestions microcontroller with wireless USB capabilities?
- Controlling Neovim with Streamdeck
-
Is it possible to have a transparency of your keymap on screen?
https://github.com/manna-harbour/xmk might be able to support dynamic options.
-
ELI5 hold-preferred, balanced, tap-preferred or tap-unless-interrupted for layer toggle and home row mods?
Sounds like a nice project! Also consider using the record mode of 𝑥MK for this.

𝑥MK: Use programmable keyboard firmware with any keyboard.
It works in a VM on Windows, with usbip for communication. See https://github.com/manna-harbour/xmk/discussions/4. That might also be possible on macOS, see this comment.
