It’s absolutely possible, but my question to you is, are you following a nutrition plan outside of training that caters to your recovery?

Hey man! I like the enthusiasm and willingness to learn!
In my opinion if you are able, I believe it would be wise to seek out a coach. Look at their clients and the results they are producing and how they conduct themselves to know if it is a good choice for you.

I cook it the same way every time with the same weights dry weight vs water, and I measure per meal via cooked amount
Consistency is what matters most

Think before you react. You are in charge of your actions and behaviors despite how you feel.

Yes this plan is perfectly fine. Ultimately it comes down to, is your training performance progressing? And if so then what you’re doing is good! If not, then it may need some adjusting.

I’ve seen it work with myself, but it’s split quads + secondary hams, off, glutes, off, hams + secondary quads, off, off. You’re most likely not going to be able to recover from hitting each one of those 3x per week if you are training hard enough. Prioritizing a body part also means deprioritizing others to allow for the recovery, so while I was doing this to maximize full results I pulled back on training everything else.

Key point you started with is bigger people. Meaning they may be at the point that they do not need a big surplus to improve.
It does not apply to people who need to put on a fat larger amount of muscle than they currently have.

I personally like them. After my hernia surgery I was religious with wearing one during cardio and training. Is is not the cure all if you ignore all other variables like proper core strength, control, digestion, stomach volume, etc. But it can supplement doing everything else correctly

This is totally normal for many, pressing is usually the quickest to stall and the first to go in a deficit.
In your case doing that particular volume I would definitely look to change that up to the two sets with a bit higher reps vs the 5×5

In my opinion order matters. But it is based on your goal. Whatever the priority is, I would place that first.

Here’s what I’ve always done :
I base my needed protein intake on direct sources , trace protein from carb sources etc are not included in that total. I am consistent with all of my food sources, so those trace protein amounts are not seeing constant fluctuations.
I see 1.5g/lb being best for me.

Ultimately it comes down to consistency

If you have the goal of progression, go into the session with that being your soul focus. Phone on do not disturb or airplane mode, just get to work and focus on the sets and reps
Nothing magical, it’s just a choice.

I have done it before. Best way to find out is to try it. Play with what amount of volume you can recover from

Worth it depends on what it’s worth to you, are your adductors weak and lagging? You can give the cable set up a try and see if you’re able to progress it. But if they’re not a lagging part for you then you can get good work out of them through using a full range of motion on leg movements like squat, leg press, and split squat
