Looks like the 40 Neptuniums I started with today won't last as long as I originally expected. I still have 10 more on the bench in various states of completion (was planning to finish them this morning, but I was sleepy) and parts for more already on the way. If you don't get one immediately, you didn't miss your shot.

Remind me, is this run any different than your original runs other than the 1/4” buffer which only helps if I run 1/4” and XLR simultaneously, correct?

Correct, the only difference between this run and the last is the buffered 1/4" output, other than that it's the exact same pedal.

For those with an older neptunium, are there any recommendations for when running the XLR and 1/4" out, would using a boost so that the 1/4" output can be turned down achieve largely similar results?
My suggestion would be to set your XLR level first then adjust your 1/4" output appropriately. There's nothing wrong with using both outputs on the previous version of Neptunium, it's just that the controls will "fight each other" if you suddenly turn one up and may have to adjust the other as well. So my best recommendation is going to be set your levels before you start the gig so you don't have to adjust anything on the fly.

Using a boost on the 1/4" output could be an option though, so your 1/4" level on the pedal stays where you set it and any adjustments needed on the 1/4" output could be adjusted on the boost.
