Running the numbers however, it seems that regardless of strategy as long as one keeps their WR in a 3.4% to 4.2% range any approach gets the job done. ....
That sounds a little generous. What are you basing that on? Or maybe you are using a little looser definition of 'getting the job done'?
A 4.2% WR has a 7% historic failure rate for a 30 year period. For an Early Retirement, and planning for a chance of a long life, 45 years might be a better choice, and that gives a 27% failure rate. But 3.2% provides 100% (historical) success.
