Nice example, thanks.

This is the bar, ant CTV has passed it with vaulting alone.

You haven't mentioned one safety concern.  It's hard to tell if you have
any.  There is, of course, the elephant in the room with CTV that is a true
concern that nobody talks about.

The real danger of CTV isn't whether it's the best, and we know it's
nonrecursive.  And we can use BIP8, so that isn't an issue either.

And we already have shitcoins on BTC, so sapio shouldn't be your issue (
https://github.com/sapio-lang/sapio)

Why exactly is your problem?  You yourself have admitted it's useful for
vaulting, and for reducing the cost of lightning onboarding, even though
you ignored the dozens of other use cases enumerated in detail on utxos.org
and elsewhere.
