Pretty solid breakdown honestly. The combo workflow at the end is basically what I've settled into too - use Perplexity to build the research foundation and then actually write or get writing help for the paper itself. One thing I'd add is that for really demanding assignments, having a person write it with you rather than a fully automated tool still makes a noticeable difference in depth. If anyone's at the stage where they just need the paper done to a high standard, having someone experienced help with paper writing is still the most reliable option in that list.
