Hats off to you for just saying "no" to optimizations.

I'd have gone down an optimization rabbit hole, while never finishing the original project.

There is absolutely no need for this to exist in physical form. It is perfectly alright to run this on a simulation in Logisim Optimize as long as you desire and then once that is done, implementing it in physical form is just a matter of assembling it, which mostly can be done by many print pcb and solder on demand services.
