I wish more handwritten kanji input systems would use stroke order and count as a weight and not a filter. As a learner is generally know the stroke order when looking at an unknown kanji but as most input method filter on order and count a single wrong order or count means the matching kanji doesn't even show up in the list of possible matches

All the proprietary systems do that. For some reason, proprietary Chinese handwritten input systems are more widely available than Japanese. macOS and ios are good examples. Ships with a good one for Chinese and nothing for japanese. If you buy a Sony android phone you'll get a good handwritten Japanese input out-of-the-box. The reason is because basic stroke order information is freely available, but you need much more information to build a good system (you need common abbreviations and mistakes, fx)
