That's usually my approach too. Thin layer of 3204 on the stem (205 if it is a very scratchy switch), then baglubed springs, and assemble.

Bottom housing material does, too

If that's the case for you, you apparently lube a LOT. Good for you if that's the type of switch you enjoy, I personally can't stand the "buttery smooth" thick 205g0 layer feeling. It's a bit like 5 layers of foam in every board for me. Makes every board sound decent, but kills all individuality and blends everything into mediocracy.
With a thick layer of 205g0 most linears are indeed indistinguishable, but with a thin layer of 205 or a bit of 3204 many sound and feel very distinct. Hell, even a milky top and clear top gateron yellow with the same bottoms, springs and stems sounds and feels noticeably different.

Bottom out can feel totally different, even with the same stem and just a different bottom housing.

Keycap GBs have huge lead times across the board for basically all manufacturers, that's a known fact. Don't get into GBs of you are not ready to wait. Buy in-stock, buy extras, buy mechmarket. Or stop complaining about something you knew about when you got into it.
