I won’t recommend anything in particular, but before buying an auto inflation vest confirm the price and availability of reload kits. The pill expires after a couple of years.

Storm windows are a thing in four season climates, basically just another pane of glass over the existing window in winter. I have known low income people to just staple clear plastic over the frame for the same effect. You might give it a try. Ugly, but better than boarding them up.
You haven’t mentioned what kind of boat you have. Sailing a monohull vs a catamaran is somewhat different, also the size and rig make a difference. Your process looks about right to me, for a typical small monohull boat.
It’s mostly about practice, though, sailing needs to be instinctive. Try not to overthink it.
