What is the best approach for applying for a Digital Workcation Visa in Thailand as an independent consultant?

EDIT: Thanks for the clarity on Thai language not qualifying as soft power. Got conflicting information there. Have adjusted the post accordingly.

I could use some advice from this group as I gear up to apply for my DTV at the beginning of March.

I am looking at Workcation, and could qualify for either Track A or B.

I keep hearing conflicting stories that one/the other are getting harder to obtain, and don’t know what to trust, so I’d like to have plans for both, in case one is denied and I need to reapply.

I’m providing likely more information than is necessary in the hopes of getting high quality responses. I’m posting anonymously because of the depth of this information provided.

I am a French/American citizen, was intending to apply on my French passport, as that’s what I’ve consistently used to travel to Thailand.

I am an independent consultant, facilitator, and speaker in the social impact sector operating out of a US LLC. The business has been operational since 2018.

Most of my work is project based and ad hoc. I do have one longstanding client that pays my business 4,200 euro monthly.

I can show a years work of consistent member draw of $5,500-$6,000 USD per month.

I have the pre-requisite 500k baht in an available personal savings account which I can demonstrate for the last 3 months.

I will be updating my website to show as more of a professional photo - with logos of clients, case studies, and some photos of me facilitating/speaking. There’s ample evidence online (LinkedIn, speaking reels, etc.)

I am currently in Chiang Mai on standard tourist visa, and intend to go to Hanoi beginnning of March before it expires, and apply from there. I have flexibility on location I go, would prefer its relatively close, affordable flights, and needs to have accomodation with reliable internet for video calls. I wanted to do Hanoi because I have a friend there I would like to visit.

Please note I’ve researched requirements at length - with the embassies, online research, AI, and through this group.

Here's the remaining questions that are coming up for me:

1. Based on the above information, for Workcation, is it better to go the Remote Worker (Track A) or Business Owner (Track B) route? I’ve heard advise both ways - including the suggestion to go the Remote Worker track of my own company and write a letter authorizing myself to work from Thailand.

2. Does the intended date of arrival to Thailand that I put on the application have an impact? I’d ideally book a one way ticket to Hanoi, and then book my return as soon as the visa was approved, so unsure what to put.

Thank you in advance for your constructive responses and support!
