What is your recommendation for a Split Ergo Keyboard?
In general, I see more negative Moonlander reviews than positive -- largely due to hand size (as others have noted).
I'd recommend starting off cheap: Get a couple of cheap PCBs, a soldering iron, and some bumpons. See what you like with your own money before using your work money.

The fact that massive protests don’t work proves it matters to everyone involved. QED.
This logic assumes logical thinking. While I think you're right -- there's some factor at play that has not been publicized -- this could still be nothing more than an ego trip.

Explicitly silent low profile switches?

This. As someone else mentioned, lowprokb.ca is currently working on a silent choc switch (called "ambients", I think)

Looks great! I wish there was a little more customization available: I use Colemak DH, and I would prefer icons instead of full "backspace" on a 1u.

Worried I wasted money on my new Moonlander, will I ruin my muscle memory?
You can if you keep it up. I regularly switch between several physical layouts, and it's not a problem if the keymap is the same.
I can still use my laptop keyboard, but it's annoying without the keymap efficiencies. But I do have Colemak DH installed as a layout. I haven't really kept up with qwerty, but I can do it if needed (I'm using it on my phone).
My solution was to switch to smaller, wireless boards that sit on a "bridge" over my laptop keyboard.

Just some black acrylic. Not my idea, but I'd have to go diving through reddit to find the original.

Good layout for 58ish keys? (Eg sofle, Lily, Iris) specifically for coding
As others have mentioned, it's very much personal preference. I program with 34 keys every day with three primary layers: colemak dh, numpad, and nav. After having used Miryoku for almost two years, I've been using Callum-style mods for the past several months, and I really, really like it.
I'd recommend taking a look at keymaps in the QMK repo -- especially for layouts similar to the board you're using. You could also search github for zmk-config repos. It's a different firmware, but layout is layout.

Didn't mean to mark it as 18... I'll see if I can fix it.
You're right: Layers are essential. I use three primary layers -- colemak dh, numpad, and nav -- along with several combos. Another key feature is what are called Callum-style mods, which are essentially "sticky", one-shot modifiers.
I've been using this layout for quite awhile now, so I'm pretty used to it. It took a month or so to switch from qwerty to colemak, but the switch to ortholinear (like this one) and column-staggered took under a week. Switching to home-row mods took a day, and switching from those to Callum took about a week.

It was fun, but the CGI was dated in parts. Overall, glad I streamed it instead of seeing it in theaters

A message from /r/ErgoMechKeyboards
I feel the same way. Very much appreciate everything you've done (and I hope Jane is doing better -- unrelated I know, but she's fantastic, too)
My only hesitation is that I'd heard that most of the available replacements have become havens of ... misinformation.
