I really appreciate the information and would love more information on your architecture in particular. Also definitely love your information on your personal process and flow. Some of it seems interesting to adopt and some of it seems bad for me but I could see why you do it, some I do in similar ways but a bit differently. e.g. I use git and online services to make sure that any of my computers are completely replaceable and that I can pick up work at any moment from any one. I can't agree more with the "no firewalls" approach to things, though I prefer to call it "host based" firewalls as it scares people less! I'm glad you've had no compliance/audit pushback on that, I architect things similarly and have had success pushing back on the requirement as well. I'm very surprised by the l2 switches and actually choosing to run completely unmanaged switches. I assume you're running all 10G or more? Maybe i'm overthinking the complexity of your network but I would be lost without snmp counters on my switches and running switches+networking in fully l3 mode has some great isolation benefits, especially if you want full switch-level redundancy. Do you have some more details on your data architecture? I'm very curious how do you do data direction/redundancy/sharding and balancing customer data across servers. I'm not trying to pry for things you consider secret but I think you have a very similar architectural mindset and I'm curious how you solve these things.
