You are being weirdly and needlessly confrontational here. Like trying to gate keep opinions.
None of those things actually apply to what I wrote. They really don't affect the difference in action economy between monk's control and casters. They don't change the effectiveness of flanking against mixed units.
Not everyone wants to cheese, or can be bothered to cheese when it's frequently quicker to just do them normally. They don't really relate to what I wrote but the game really shouldn't be balanced around cheese strategies (other than maybe shutting them down) so I'm not sure how it's relevant in the first place. And I'm not really sure what your point is about rests, if they are available then Ki points are less of an issue and enough short rests are legitimately available even if long rests are restricted.
I'm sorry but you seem to be arguing for the sake of arguing and aren't actually making any relevant points so I'm leaving this here.
