1.
I am perhaps overstating the inconsistency of the AKKO Creamy Purple Pro.
What I mean is, the switches themselves feel and sound consistent. They have a fairly memorable tactility, and rely more on the tactile event than the spring weight. It's not the MX Brown-style 'impression of resistance' via spring-weight.
However, a few switches in my batch were "off." They didn't sound or feel like the others. Maybe a factory-lubing issue. It was about 4% of my switches. Some horror-stories have reported up to 25% of a batch, but that is like one or two samples.
They are on something like V5 now, so Creamy Purple Pro are probably a safe bet, even if you have to discard 4% of your switches like I did.
2. Unikeys is now offering MX Falcon, hand-lubed and filmed, with swapped-springs:

3. There was a thread where a person was looking for lower-pitched medium to heavy-tactiles
https://www.keebtalk.com/t/moderate-weight-smoother-tactiles-with-a-louder-and-deeper-sound-profile/23647A top recommendation there are the Hojicha Reserve. Not to be confused with the Goji Reserve light-tactile.
I avoided mentioning the switch at first, because of my lack of experience with it, questions about its availability, and it possibly being more higher-pitched than the person desired, but it was the first reccomendation of several people.
4. Interestingly, they are bringing back the Greetech Brown:
