Stop being so hard on yourself.

Unless you're a sociopath, nobody gets up in the morning intending to screw up. But we all do. Because we're human. We're not perfect. We fuck up.

So stop being so hard on yourself. On any given Thursday, you're doing the very best you can. Shit happens. Move on. Forgive others when they hurt you just like they forgive you. Forgive yourself. Because nobody's perfect. You're doing the best you can.

Stop being so hard on yourself.

Any vehicle with two power sources is, by definition, exceptionally inefficient and therefore, unnecessarily expensive. I personally am eagerly awaiting safe hydrogen storage so vehicles can truly be zero emission. Toyota just announced they're close; GM tried for decades and gave up. We'll see...

I'm coming from a vehicle OEM. Down cycling isn't recycling: we can't decompose EV batteries and reuse/recycle like we can, say, steel.

Would the difference, even considering a somewhat larger battery, be that significantly different compared to an EV or an ICE?

A missing, but important, element in this discussion is vehicle disposal/recycling capability and environmental impact. The current state of battery recycling adds another layer of complexity to this equation.
