Suggestion: It would've been much easier to follow the sections where you talk about the various subtypes if there was a table or some other visual building summary of what all the subtypes offered in order to more easily understand all the options at a glance.
I had a really good experience running an all-Tiefling campaign for the Giantslayer AP. The entire party were different variants of 1E Tieflings and they really leaned into the whole "Well, you look strange, but at least you aren't a half-orc" flavor that I had with the townfolk of Trunau (starting point of book 1). The party wasn't evil but they weren't good either, I pretty much treated them as "undeclared neutral" but was prepared to re-classify them as either good or evil as they reacted to the campaign (they stayed pretty down-the-middle alignment-wise, so no surprises there....) So if your group is up for it, let them try and all-tiefling campaign, see how it works out. It isn't for every table, I'm sure, but it can work with the right players and GM....
I think it was a mistake taking tieflings out of the Planescape/planes setting. It’s like taking moles from dark sun and plastering in every setting. Doesn’t work and ruins the races uniqueness.
tiefling from PF1 and 3e were definitely much better then the single fiend influenced versions honestly much more bland and less unique same with aasimar their is more fiends then devils and more celestials then just angels stop being so lazy WOTC and other critics i could throw their way in regards to races though also wish some fiends got more lore to them and by extension their corrupted mortal relatives such as the asura or oni which don't seem to have much lore on them like their leaders at best if lucky a few sentences of lore or such along with they only made demonic half fiend variants in regards to templates my favorite are probably the kyton and Sahkil im thinking in theme
Always enjoyed your take on PF1e. After 40 years of pen & paper it is my fav game system, love its mathematical symmetry

though also wish some fiends got more lore to them and by extension their corrupted mortal relatives such as the asura or oni which don't seem to have much lore on them like their leaders at best if lucky a few sentences of lore or such along with they only made demonic half fiend variants in regards to templates

Look into aegis war hulk half giant lv 12 range ability. Increasing size twice (aegis) and vital strike can be used with it
