I like the direction you're taking. You are focusing on function over form. IMO this is the best approach. Dial in the playability/longevity of your cues first. You can always hang ornaments later.

I have that exact cue. No issues with mine. Looks like your joint facing could have used a light cleaning. Hopefully Cuetec gives you a positive answer/outcome.

I can tell you that I rarely play anymore, and that jumping was never my strong suit. This thing makes jumping much easier. In my case, it's definitely the arrow, not the Indian.
