As someone who has done some of these scale of builds with genuine Lego, yes it will alleviate the clutching issues -Lego moulding quality control is top notch. No, it won't quite alleviate the color variation unless all your bricks are the same vintage - Lego isn't as light-fast as you might hope. Older white bricks will yellow, blue and red will fade, yellow will grey slightly, and brown... well every adult Lego fan has horror stories about dismantling a build they had sitting around for over a year that involved brown plates. ABS+UV+whatever formula Lego used for reddish brown pre 2018 results in the plastic shattering when you separate the elements.

I'm glad you found a design that works and that the end result looks so good. The most common problem with sets like this one is that they were never actually built and tested out in real life before the set was manufactured, they just found a design on Rebrickable, got the parts list, bagged it and sold it. And a large number of MOCs were made completely in one of the Lego designer tools and never in real life. They look good as a 3D render but they have some glaring issues that are very obvious once you start putting it together, like the fact the entire weight of the model hangs on one stud, that you need three hands to handle the model, four while you're building it because it falls apart otherwise, and so on. Using legit Lego bricks might help a tiny bit, but won't solve the design problems. Good designs have redundant connections that reduce the effect of weak or uneven clutch. Even original Lego bricks wear out over time, and there's a limit to how much a stud can hold. A good sign is if the Rebrickable page has photos of the build, not just 3D renders.

I don't see an issue with competing companies making bricks and their own models and instructions. The patent expired and it's a free market.
