Much thanks for sharing! Will definitely look into the wand extension. That trick with beginning the steaming before the light comes on is brilliant!
My setup is identical to yours (Poemia & 600N). Good to hear that the grinder 'works' with a depressurized. I wasn't going to try depressurizing until I attempted the PID mod first though .... temperature surfing is so stressful & even more so when I'm in a rush in the morning & still want to pull 3 shots.
I'm now sourcing the components for the PID mod locally. Lazada seems to have a few Rex C100 kits that come with SSRs and type K thermocouples though so far none with RTD sensors which I understand are more appropriate for this mod.
If I am successful I will share my attempt with this forum.

I think that depressurizing has a larger effect on your shots rather than temperature. You might want to go ahead and try it!
I have replaced my pressurized basket (Delonghi EC155) with a normal basket, and this impacts the shot more than temp surfing.
For the temp, I warm the machine for 30 mins, prior to locking in the shot I put it in steam mode. Once the green light hit, I flush for one second (vapor from group), lock and pull.
More than half the time I would get consistent bottomless pours. Taste-wise, it's not too bad... lol.
