If I understand this correctly, If I use smaller steps I may use fewer strokes at each step which (to me) translates as less spine wear. I may end up using fewer strokes overall.

This is not proved yet.just don't think this way
Using stones from similar types/lines will also get the job done more efficiently/consistently.
I am thinking the super stone 1k, 3k, 5k then going to either my tiger coticule or a Nakayama. One of the Nakayamas I have is a particularly fast cutter.

You need a little more then this.In my opinion i would go higher 1,3,5,8,10 0r12 then move to nakayama
Of course there is that idea of getting some of the coarser naturals. But which ones?
