It's nice to see how your solving style has evolved. This solve is very different from your older ones (3-4 years ago).
I'm trying to emulate you, but my result is not great.

B' R' D F2 D B' D' R B U' D2 B' F R2 L2 F' B L U' R L' B L' B' D' B' R B2 F2 L' B L' B U2 B2 R2 F2 B2

B' R' D F2 D //Orient Corners
B' D' @ U //Orient some edges
At this point I use the @ insertion to orient the remaining edges and fix centres.
Then I insert + to fix opposite edges (now the cube can be solved only with double turns)
B2 U2 L2 U2 D2
The last insertion is * to swap the last 4 edges.

@ = (R B U * L U') M (U L' U' B' + R')
+ = U' R E2 R' U
* = E2 S E2 S

Kinda CF, so can I be as cool as Attila? Actually the "Stuff" step was me attempting to do some domino, but that didn't work out. IF does a way better job, getting 21 with my skeleton, but as we know edges are tricky bastards.

I'am happy, when I see any CF attemts.
Your solution so good, and I found a few ways, which doesn't necessitate using edges-insertion.

Spoiler

(U L2 F D' B) using your start on inverse,
B' L B' all corners -1 move, seems obvious continuation,
(R2 D2) FR-BR edges swap,
U2 R' F R L' U' R L2 U2 L2 B2 LSE.
Final solution: B' L B' U2 R' F R L' U' R L2 U2 L2 B2 D2 R2 B' D F' L2 U' 21 moves

Another solution:
(U L2 F D' B) your start,
(D2 R2 L2 U L' U') at first sight could have been (D' L' D), but this a slighty harder LSE case,
(L2 -D2 R' L' F2 L2-) L3E,
(-L2 F2 L R D'- L' D R L' F' L F R2 F2 L2) finish with cancellation.
Final solution: L2 F2 R2 F' L' F L R' D' L D' L2 U L U' L2 R2 D2 B' D F' L2 U' 23 moves.
