I've really enjoyed the video. However, so far Integza is more of videoblogger who entertain his audience rather than engineer working towards a better system for his goals.
This article - https://www.hydrogen-peroxide.us/uses-monoprop-steam-generation/LLNL-Hydrogen_Peroxide_for_Smaller_Satellites-1998.pdf https://www.hydrogen-peroxide.us/uses-monoprop-steam-generat... - explains the basics of hydrogen peroxide propulsion technology. For example, having 50% peroxide, one can make more concentrated one - like, 85% used by Britain in their orbital launcher Black Arrow - by relatively simple evaporation. I guess the problem is that it's less useful for video.
It was really good to see catalyst pack experiments with printed porous ceramics. It would be very interesting :) to see if that ceramics - and active ingredient potassium permanganate - would stand higher temperatures of decomposition of higher concentration peroxide. But that's an exercise for the viewer - and the technology for that, a specialized 3D printer and high-content ceramics photopolymer aren't too accessible for many.
The video - and the channel as a whole - are still pretty good though.

Integza has a number of videos improving on former videos' designs, and in the case he isn't satisfied with a design he always talks about how he might make it better, usually near the end of the video. He'll often make followup videos with the next iteration. Not everyone needs to be the next Elon; let him have his fun. His videos are entertaining, and that's great.
