I overall agree. The one thing I will say is that what you call code organization (anything pre-compilation) also includes structuring the code to improve maintainability, extensibility, and testability. I would therefore disagree that code organization is only basic hygiene, not part of design, and not a large part of the “craft” (use of that word is something I’ve changed my opinion on—while it feels good to think of it that way, it leads to exactly the thing we’re discussing; putting too much emphasis on unimportant things).

Code style though, I do agree isn’t worth stressing about. I do think you may as well decide on a linter/style, just so it’s decided and you can give it minimal energy moving forward.
