I did see that the coffee store had this shower screen like device for pour overs. That may or may not be overkill.

I think there's a ton of error tolerance with a pour over.
Rinse the filter, wet the grinds, wait to bloom then the rest of the water. This is the basic way I taught my wife. She shortens it to rinse the filter, keep adding water to desired concentration/amount and it's not like the brew is not drinkable.

I have cheap stovetop gooseneck from amazon and transfer water from old school electric kettle. Not super efficient, but waiting for the next time the Fellow Stagg EKG pops up on costco website or a Fellow has a flash sale.
I have the melodrip coffee tool, it does give more clarity in the cup, but pricey for what it is.

Good call. I just bought a $15 long goose neck spout tea pot to transfer the water from my vacuum kettle for pours. I was only thinking electric versions before. Even if the temp drops slightly from transfer, the overall result is likely superior to that of a poorly bloomed pour IMO.
