I grow DWC and am very familiar with pythium or root rot. I like the article, but disagree with the light leakage argument. It's not as critical as you state a pinhole isn't a problem. Light leakage also depends on the concentration of light entering the reservoir. Using a black reservoir/lid and black netpot with clay should keep someone from having issues. Lower water temps also help with O2 levels, growing between 68-72 helps the O2 absorption. In the section "Treat the Plant" item 5 states to dry the roots for 2 hours. Not sure what you mean but a plant out of the water for 2 hours will kill it. The H2O2 bath should last approx. 20 minutes.

According to your metrics you have 3.5 oz. dry flower per plant; which is very doable, but you also say you have 59 grams dry total.

Understory or side lighting can generate a larger crop, but how much larger is the question and is it really worth the extra cost? I've grown with side and understory, but I honestly don't know how much more was attained. Maybe a gain of 10% over-all and maybe half that in expenditures, so is it really advantageous on small grows? I already owned the lighting hardware, so I was already setup. I used blurples, because they're not as hot as white lights. I also believe the side/lower light should be avoided if light is required on top where the main colas are located.

No one should still use CFL as a grow light. Every LED, is better than a CFL. Less wattage, less heat, more light,... Please dont use CFL anymore!
