What I’m taking from this is that the structure of plans is really important, and that even if you fell frisky, it might not be advisable to reach for a Stretch of Breakthrough workout, because you might throw the progression off entirely.

I’ve got a different read - Progression Levels (PLs) are focused on TR’s automatic workout selection (adaptive training “AT”). Except for starting out, or when you’ve experienced a sudden increase in fitness, it is better to feed AT with maintenance and productive workouts to avoid having AT push you too hard (and all the negative consequences of that). While there is some linkage, your underlying fitness and capacity to perform are different topics.
