So alittle while ago, I invented a method for 5x5 called Meridian.
It is similar to redux, but I found it is much more efficient becuase instead of making full centers, you make center bars of any color. (With this though, you have to know a series of adapted PLLs to finish the last center.)
Another reason why this is more efficient, is becuase of having center bars instead of full centers, you never have to do an edge flipping algorithm for the first 8 edges. Instead, you can just do a lateral face half turn.
After the first 8 edges, you have to do a bit of a extra step of aligning your center bars. This step is basically the fastest step on its own, but is not really necessary for redux.
After that, it's just regular reduction.
if your intrested in learning this method, I would highly recommend watching my tutorial on my channel. I go into a lot more detail, and show a few walkthrough solves.

Also I would even more highly reccomend you check out my one look last center tutorial, becuase the last center techniques used in the meridian tutorial are now inferior.

Thanks for reading, and be sure to give me feedback on what you think of this method!
