Mini Setup Almost Complete. Wise words needed.

I wanted something I could kinda backpack around to shows, so I scaled down and throught hard.
First off , I’m running two Fender Telecasters, (Standard & DADGAD) and my only other guitar purchase I’m interested in right now is something 335-ish but not $3.5kish.
Pedalboard wise, we’re running a Smallsoun/Bigsound F*ck Overdrive into a Caroline Shigerharu, a Dr. Scientist Tremolessence, then to a Strymon El Capistan and I’m up in the air a Neunaber Immerse opt a Dr. Scientist Atmosphere.
I lean heavily going toward the latter, as The Tremolessence is my favourite pedal.
I have a Wilson Freaker off board out in front, and a Boomerang III Phrase Looper in the back, which I use some of my other weapon and buttons on to affect loops when I’m going stereo.
All of this goes into a the front end Gibson GA-8 from 1959.
I’m STRONGLY considering switching out the Boomerang for a Chase Bliss Bloop, throwing in a Bogner Harlow, and swapping the F*ck for a Mini.
I don’t feel great carting around a 1959 amp either, so I was having a look at those silverface Princeton Reverbs, and maybe a Strymon Iridium to do guerilla shows.
It’s all gotta fit on a Pedaltrain Nano + (the wah and Boomerang sit off board, which is why I was thinking Blooper.
Last bit of nerdy doom. I’m using a burley Flatliner to power all this, but was wondering if this was something that could be accomplished with a CIOKS of some description, or perhaps on or two of those Strymon power supplies?
I’m working on a project called Two Heavens (DG4LYF) which is spacey Sargent House/Neo Jazz/Black Metal Chord Structures and Progressions influenced stuff, electric finge style occasional ultra heft that gets a little darker than Vantablack.

I’m also using this (albeit with a host more madness after the loop as part of a collaboration with a pretty out there and pretty well known musician around these parts. He has two albums I love parts of, so I’ve roped him into letting me reconfigure his music as a duo experimental setup, Piano, his wild voice and my guitars and textures.
What ya’ll think of the plan? Replacing the Boomerange with the Bloop would lose some functionality but add a lot of opportunities in a smaller Nano+ package. The Princeton I am fairly hooked on. The Iridium just seems to fit the bill for size and mobility.
I’ve been out of the loop because I’ve been far from sober for far too long but that’s over now.
What’s happening!
