I think the timing of the UASF is problematic, but a bigger problem is the partial ban on op_if.

Which limits? I fully agree with the first six...
The OP_IF restriction in BIP-110 applies specifically to Tapleaves in Taproot scripts — not to Bitcoin Script broadly. It’s temporary (one year, auto-expiry). The fix for affected wallets is splitting OP_IF branches into separate Tapleaves, which Taproot best practice already recommends. Lightning unaffected. Multisig unaffected. Existing UTXOs permanently exempt. bip110.org documents all of this.
“Most nodes are apathetic” is an interesting reason to never activate anything. By that metric, no soft fork would ever pass. Apathy isn’t consensus — it’s silence. BIP-110 gives nodes a voice.
