Didn’t mean to mark it as 18… I’ll see if I can fix it.
You’re right: Layers are essential. I use three primary layers – colemak dh, numpad, and nav – along with several combos. Another key feature is what are called Callum-style mods, which are essentially “sticky”, one-shot modifiers.
I’ve been using this layout for quite awhile now, so I’m pretty used to it. It took a month or so to switch from qwerty to colemak, but the switch to ortholinear (like this one) and column-staggered took under a week. Switching to home-row mods took a day, and switching from those to Callum took about a week.
As others have mentioned, it’s very much personal preference. I program with 34 keys every day with three primary layers: colemak dh, numpad, and nav. After having used Miryoku for almost two years, I’ve been using Callum-style mods for the past several months, and I really, really like it.
I’d recommend taking a look at keymaps in the QMK repo – especially for layouts similar to the board you’re using. You could also search github for zmk-config repos. It’s a different firmware, but layout is layout.
I Recently found out that my work has a benefit where they give you a couple hundred dollars to improve your health somehow. Gym, massage, Ergo stuff, ect. I want o put it towards an Ergo Mechanical Keyboard....
In general, I see more negative Moonlander reviews than positive – largely due to hand size (as others have noted).
I’d recommend starting off cheap: Get a couple of cheap PCBs, a soldering iron, and some bumpons. See what you like with your own money before using your work money.
The fact that massive protests don’t work proves it matters to everyone involved. QED.
This logic assumes logical thinking. While I think you're right -- there's some factor at play that has not been publicized -- this could still be nothing more than an ego trip.

Good layout for 58ish keys? (Eg sofle, Lily, Iris) specifically for coding
I’m really struggling with how to lay out my additional layers....
What is your recommendation for a Split Ergo Keyboard?
