A split layout where each half is identical but mirrored?
Yeah taipo might be what you're looking for. It's a chorded input system that fits all ascii(?) characters on just 8 keys, fully mirrored on each hand. It's modeled after artsey but is better optimized. There's the github page, an image that might have more visual clarity and finally a typing demonstration which I think is the fastest ascii test ever recorded actually

Here's a peek down the rabbit hole of modern alternate keyboard layout enthusiasts
Yes, there are people out there who have written multiple extensive command-line utilities to analyze and optimize keyboard layouts. Yes, there are people who have hit 220 wpm typing speeds on a typing test where the layout changes in the middle... twice. There are people who have written 80 whole pages on everything you could possibly want to know about why modern layouts are designed the way they are. But actually, that just covers the basics. We have extra keys on your thumbs, we have shift keys that you only have to tap instead of holding down, we have keys that change depending on what you previously typed, we even have layouts that don't work anything like a normal keyboard.

One handed typing
You might be interested in Taipo2, it's an optimized version of artsey which should work pretty all right on one hand. It's got barely any movement because it only has 8 keys, so you might even be able to incorporate your second hand into it at some point (if everything heals as well as the doctors say it will which we hope for!). There's also Soar which is a 17 chorded key layout and seems pretty promising. I'm pretty sure dvorak L and R are actually fairly decent onehanded layouts, afaik there's not much new tech out there though. Good luck!

My first PCB design and second build: a Corne inspired choc-mini
The layout is a simulate annealing optimized layout which I've added to stevep99's Keyboard Layout Analysis Tool it's available on the sa-tidy branch for now. I liked NotGateās SFB minimized layout but wanted to expand and add more finger roll and make sure it's optimized for English as well as C/C++/Rust and Python.

Binding for "Repeat Last Key"
It is commonly used on a thumb key (Right-alt on tradtional keyboards) to repeat an alphanumeric key to avoid double tapping with the same finger, making it a smooth motion instead and helping in the same vain as reducing same finger bigrams. For example typing "hello" you would instead do hel{rAlt}o. See also the bottom of https://notgate.github.io/layout/

A little help with my overthinking please

Lowest possible bigram count? Introducing the Bone Layout
Looks okay. Right ring is a little questionable (try typing "you" on it), and there's also a layout with 0.473% SFBs.

A collection of small keyboards
Thanks for the reply! Interesting how you skipped colemak, I'd be curious to hear your thoughts on plain colemak if you decide to give it a go. I might do the same with colemak-dh or IRST for that matter.

Reviung41 first build
Looks like NotGate's SFB Minimized Layout (https://notgate.github.io/layout/)
