I don't have access to my server right now, but it's around 20 containers on my little N100 box.

Nice documentation. Thanks for taking such well written notes. Starred.

Sure, but presenting DE choice inside the install will confuse the mythical new user.
But I agree with you. A lot of download bandwidth and hosting storage could be saved by doing what Cachy/Endeavour ISO's are doing.
Ho much does the screenshot you posted say, that the screenshots on the Mint download page does not? Other than giving you more options, which can overwhelm new people.
Some distro's really like doing their curated live environment for each environment, so you can test it out before actually installing it.
Sounds like you want something like X11 forwarding. I have never used it, but I believe it is proper remote desktop, not sharing.
Having icons in menus does clutter a bit, but it is a real boon to people that can't read or have bad vision, so they can easily find the entry they need.
Never heard of ArchCraft before. No interest in it now.
I haven't tried ElementaryOS in years. It was always too opinionated for me.
But glad they are still releasing updated ISO's.
Curseforge even have Linux clients (although still marked as alpha): https://www.curseforge.com/download/app#download-options
I'm probably in the 5-6 area. Maybe a toe into 7.
