Do you think this is the move, going coach and then train? Looking at how feasible it is to go to Rome on public transport at the moment the eurostar bumps up the cost, flixbus looks cheaper but overnight

Yeah exactly Eurostar outgoing is the big cost. We decided the coach was too risky (recent reviews pretty dismal and no choice in operators) so we've booked a super cheap daytime train to Newhaven, then a middle of the night ferry to Dieppe, early morning train to Paris. The connection at Rouen is a bit tight.
The timing of the ferry is shit for sleeping but looks more comfy than the bus and hopefully more reliable.

Ok more travel crowdsourcing - anyone traveled to Paris by coach recently? Are there still delays at the border?
I'm looking at booking an overnight coach which gets in at 6am to pick up a train from Gare du Nord to Italy at 7.30am. Is this utterly foolish? Are we likely to miss it due to traffic, border control etc.
