for simple designs it doesn’t make much difference other than the reason you mentioned. But when designs get complex it’s my understanding it can be preferred to do repetitive stuff outside the sketch when possible for performance reasons. I just try to make it a habit.

Learning about tools through experience doesn’t make you a Neanderthal … it makes you normal. Ha.

seems a constraint is conflicting. if you share doc as Neil suggested someone can help narrow down what the conflict is. putting a circle on a midpoint works for me.

Looks like your design is a great candidate for one fourth of the work you've done. maybe 1/8 with the use of mirrors and a circular pattern. A couple suggestions. use equals contraint rather than inputing variable reference for every dimension. When there's opportunity to use mirror and symmetry and patterns its highly desirable to do so.It will help avoid over constraining and narrow focus to minimum number of entities to make it easier to troubleshoot

Your sketch could be as simple as this image or even simpler if you want to do the fillets on the solid model instead of in the sketch. the hole tool can be used to create a counter bore through both parts using the points as shown in this sketch. and the feature tree might look like the 2nd pic.
