Yayyyy! I love egg threads!
I think yours makes a lot of sense, and seems practical.
I was going to put eggs in my pad Thai yesterday, but didn’t, so I happened to make three boiled eggs this evening using Julia’s method, similar to the OP, that sort of worked out great! This first one was pristine!
The second of three was not as nice, and way more pockmarked.
Fortunately not a problem for ham salad.
Trying to keep all my egg cooking resources linked together.
