There are some good points here - I particularly like the contrasts with Arabic and Spanish - but the proscription against using Latinate words is far too strong! The dean of my old law school shows how you can mix Saxon and Latin words to achieve beautiful, strong effects: https://reason.com/volokh/2020/06/22/what-did-lincoln-know-about-language-that-we-dont/ https://reason.com/volokh/2020/06/22/what-did-lincoln-know-a... Elsewhere he gives examples from Churchill. Churchill liked to start out with Latinate words describing the malicious onslaught of the adversary, and end with pure simple Saxon words describing our brave boys' stand. Or, you might do nearly the opposite, ending with Latinate words beautifully exalting our glorious intrepidity. Anyway, you should certainly not throw out all words but short Saxon-derived ones. Keep them all, and use them wisely!
