D: well I suppose that's one way to animate XD I've only tried to see if hooks would work as a primary rather than secondary modifier for clothes and it ended badly XD
I'm not going to be much help to you unfortunately as I only know Eevee can look great because I've seen other people's great Eevee renders ^_^; I only did some tweaking here and there before realising just how long it was going to take to get hair to look good in Eevee (as at the time I tested it couldn't read the hair bsdf node, I'll find out when I finish the character I'm currently working on if that's changed since last minor version) and also being a realtime renderer Eevee doesn't seem to bounce light as accurately yet so getting reflections and transparency to look good might take a bit of extra work.
