There was nothing circular about it, except for your unwillingness or
inability to pose a problem.

Yes.

According to the requirements for the project.

I have no trouble with "category naming issues."

In some cases the same, in some, split.

The pro is that in the case of split archives, I am solving a legal
problem, and in the other I have no such requirement.

No.

These are ridiculously vague questions, IMO.
I think you want to ask open-ended question, have people write essays,
and pick and choose what might be appropriate for you. As for me, I
think that request is bordering on rude. You're asking me to guess at
what's relevant to you, and that's a waste of my time.
Ask specific questions, and you're more likely to get answers.
A much better set of questions might look like "I have project X and I'm
considering setting it up like Y. I have these requirements A, B, and C
that I can think of which might affect these decisions. Does this seem
like the best setup, given my requirements?"
I see you took a step in the right direction in your next post. Moving
on to that...
