Very well argued. I do wonder though why the black sovereign movement position of the 'progressive No' vote has not been considered? Given that significant stakeholders are involved eg Aboriginal Tent Embassy and that the 2017 Uluru Statement from the Heart process itself was deeply flawed causing a significant minority group to leave
I've begun to consider the implications of the blak sovereign movement in other writing and will continue to do so. To the extent that the movement prefers treaty first, before Voice, there is an issue with that insofar as getting a treaty that everyone thinks is fair and just requires another treaty to be made first - a National Agreement on Human Rights and Obligations in the Constitution. You will see more come up about this in Episode 43 of The Australia Together Podcast (Saving Australian democracy and sovereignty by building a new Constitution). For background reading, Chapter 6 of The People's Constitution might be helpful, especially the section headed “Enabling orderly coexistence of sovereignties by agreement on human rights and obligations.” And to the extent that the blak sovereign movement might also appear to favour single sovereignty rather than a coexistence of sovereignties, there are issues to resolve there too. In that regard Chapter 7 of The People's Constitution might be helpful in the section headed "The importance of an Australian people’s national voice for a just reconciliation with First Nations".
