I'd absolutely try any and all of this!
I've been on a vegan diet for just under a year to see if it could help with my training and overuse injury recovery, and while I'm not super sure it does, I've definitely been feeling better about my overall carbon footprint and smaller affect on animals.
I don't miss meat as much as I thought I would, but I do occasionally get a hankering for something. There are a couple of restaurants near me that have vegan dishes with "meat" products so realistic I honestly can't tell the difference. It's pretty incredible how similar they are.
Congrats on almost a year. I stuck with flexitarian, but I blame limited local offerings when I actually gave it a real try some years ago.
Isn't it a lot of work to make sure your diet is complete, especially since your focus was your training?

It really is... and I honestly don't know how successful I've been. I've been taking vegan supplements to try and make sure I'm getting everything I need, but I should have gotten bloodwork done before I started... and haven't had anything checked in 2020. I feel completely fine, but I'm also aware that's a terrible measure of anything.
I feel completely fine, only have 300 minor muscle tears due to iron deficiency. :3
I only need iron on the outside of my body... to pump.
