FWIW, I liked your rationale for "many smaller steps". One small uncomfort in that approach is that it often is not very obvious by reading "log -p master.." alone how well the end result fits together. Each individual step may make sense, or at least it may not make it any worse than the original, but until you apply the whole series and read "diff master..." in a sitting, it is somewhat hard to tell where you are going. But this is not "risk" or "bad thing"; just something that may make readers feel uncomfortable---we are not losing anything by splitting a series into small logical chunks.
