Yes, I understood. I don't think you are carried away at all. If someone here is going to take on the timing chain project your approach is a great reference.

My suggestion was only if a member has an engine with the old shorter tensioner it is well worth the time and money to replace it with the longer version so the chains don't start eating up the guides as soon.
