I also found these solutions for the last scramble, both of which are pretty interesting, but I don't know how good the 223 would actually be in execution.

Not a new example solve, but for this scramble, I found this 34-move solution with just a little bit of experimenting, and I was able to downsolve it to 4.40.

Not super great with a rotation after 223, but because it's only 10 moves and mostly RUL, it's less bad.

I think there was an error in the recon somewhere
or maybe it’s just absolute wizardry that I cannot comprehend

It's correct, so probably just wizardry then

Found two solutions, both 42 moves, but this one is more unique, so I'm choosing it as my main one. Here's the other solution if anyone wants it.
