@LongPanda pre-announces an upgrade, here, with the following changes.
for "3.", above, If Partition 1 is formatted (for obvious reasons) as a compressed NTFS and ISOs are stored there, VENTOY will NOT find your ISOs. This requires an additional GRUB2 module load to fix.
For 4.", above, Cluster sizes for many SSDs or modern USBs are 4096 vs 2048
Also, for "3.", above, the default ExFAT partition format is NOT recognized by many Linux distros (and old MS, too), yet NTFS is recognized by EVERY OS for past 25 years. Thus when many ISOs when on their desktops, ExFAT cannot be used overall. And in some MS, MS doesn't know what to do with the ExFAT partition when one wants to use "format and ..." feature. I know the benefit ExFAT is suppose to provide, but this is NOT widespread as yet for old or new OSes.
Lastly for "3.", above, BTRFS should be added as GRUB2 knows how to recognize and address.
Hope this is wise information.

Happy to learn how to ...
