I generally agree with this but I'd read some theories - and maybe they're just coping/fan rewrites of the ending a la Indoctrination Theory - I dunno but they sound plausible enough that I can understand questioning it.

it doesn't help that a lot of it relies on cospox lmao

Like Tsumugi can cosplay as the old DR1/2 cast just fine but couldn't cosplay as the the V3 one in Case 1? I mean maybe she just faked cospox by cheating by being the mastermind but if it's al lthe same shouldn't *all* the characters be in the same bag and she can't cosplay the old casts?

Also some weirdness with the prologue before they get their "Ultimate" upgrades don't seem to match with Tsumugi's story but again you can cover this up as some kind of multi-level fake for no obvious reason other than to mess with the player using Flashback Light memory rewriting.

I'm cool with the ending but it definitely feels like they sacrificed coherency and consistency in the plot to make their point.

In retrospect, the dumbest thing about V3-6 is that Shuichi learns that Tsumugi can cosplay as students from past seasons, and he immediately galaxy brains to everything is fiction. When of course, the more rational conclusion to make is that cospox was a load of bullshit that only served to ensure that the mastermind wouldn't be suspected of every crime because of their talent. Especially considering that the only person who ever saw the cospox symptoms is dead at that point (even if the player saw it through Kaede).
