What you're describing happened to me exactly. I scrapped multiple designs in the middle of their build stage, realizing how I still had much more to learn before I could create something I'd be happy to put my name on. Each time, having been led astray by well intentioned content creators. My experience has been that the more I learn, the more I realize how much I still don't know. As of today, I've designed 2 speakers. Both of them are fine, and use cheap components as they were both built as learning experiences.
I'd like to think that at this point I am approaching the threshold of competent, but my crossover development skills in particular still need honing. I sometimes wonder how everyone else learns?
Aw, sorry ! Simili is for simili-cuir, aka simili-leather : imitation of leather.

No : easy - assuming you have the tools and the skills, of course. 😉
I use a harmless neoprene water-solvented glue, with a 45mn time of pre-drying / working
Work flat on a table, with a very even layer of glue put with a soft nylon brush (just like if you were painting an horizontal surface)

The easiest way to find out is simulate it in XSIM. There are lots of simulators, this one is free and easy for XO work, and can it import the ZMA and FRD files provided by Dayton. It does not have modelling for room, baffle step, CC spacing, diffraction, or directivity but it will do axial freq response.
This took <5min to find out. The P95 has a nasty dip at 2.2Khz, the midrange filter has no HF cutoff so it's active along with the tweeter at HF. There is a bass sag due to sensitivity differences. Not good, but maybe fixable. The XSIM files and driver files are zipped.
