Before ir stippers the world was an awful place for exterior decorators. If you really can't afford one and that's understandable if you think you'll only use it once, they are almost a requirement if you want to get close to 9/10.
Chemical or just heat or a combination works for some people. The metabo paint eater is also very useful for flat surfaces. The mouldings are slow going depending on how ornate they are, you can get contour scrapers and use chemicals to ease those.
Once you get back to wood everywhere you can fix any problems with epoxy resin and wood filler, fine surface filler, primer, undercoat, 2 top coats. Denib between coats. It's a bit of a performance though.
