I'd say rust is detrimental and patina is an improvement. Where to draw the line is personal :)

Very nice work and a good read. I too learned about the all-steel M5100 11-42 cassette after it was too late (after I bought two M8000 cassettes, so I'm very much committed to two-tone now).
Something to think about the next time you work on the cables is putting a short length of PTFE tube inside the metal cable guide at the bottom bracket and then running the inner cable through that. It'll reduce shifting friction and wear on the cable guide.
Finally, did you by any chance buy the YBN chain from AliExpress? If so, do you have a seller recommendation? I'm in the market for another SLA110 but there are so many sellers and it's hard to know which ones are good.

@MisterMikkel as requested... Not sure when we go from "patina" to "rust", but opinions welcome. Mostly just chips, but the drive-side BB has enough rust that I couldn't remove any more than you can see.
