I definitely think it's a worthwhile venture and those anomalies might well be a blessing in disguise thanks to them having tempered your expectations somewhat.

As you can see from my signature, I have all sorts of experience with different setups but one thing I am yet to do is a full minors NeL save. I wanted to wait until I felt the game has the NeL guys where I feel they should be. I have done a bunch of work on NeLers (check out my Eclipse League save) and this has almost always involved my own curated versions of NeL players. That said, v24 (and 23 before it) has moved the needle plenty in this regard so the big guys at least are getting close.

For mine, the two biggest hurdles with the kind of replay you are proposing are the interaction between the NeL and MLB guys and the fact that you have to deploy historical minors for the NeL guys to appear. Over time that means the file size gets huge, so I'd recommend cutting corners where possible such as having Facegens for just those who make it to the majors, culling messages regularly and keeping all of the various logs at 2 years max.

Be very interested to see how you go and wish you the best of luck with it.
