I have said it before: there is a big problem in the shift in depth between FoG and Earendil, and one for which there is no quick fix. I see the point of your idea, Findegil, but I don't think it solves the problem. It would only trade a little bit of the imbalance between the two chapters for a little bit of an imbalance within the Earendil chapter.
I think that we can all agree that there is probably no easy way to pass from the Fog to Eärendil chapter. The more that I read Findegil's suggestion, the more I like it. It includes your concern about the correct usage of the Lay of Eärendil.
Can you clarify me your position regarding the suggestion as to using the Quenta version to end Fog?
Would it end in parragraph 125?

Regarding the change to the poems, I'm ok with going back to subtly.
The other one, I would like to have others opinions on that.
