Excluding lengthening too much and not stretching enough (I'm guessing you should wear the calves-stretching braces at least 6 hours a day?)
A main thing freaking me out a bit is just how close the tibias are to the skin (ex: feel your shin bone) and also the fact that you need to stand up briefly for things like going to the toilet / using the sink but the nail is not weight bearing

It should go without saying to never stand with non WB nails (I'd use only wheelchair because tripping and falling is a real possibility with crutches.) You can walk underwater at neck/sternum level. Be very careful to not bump something at tibial osteotomy site. You have a great mindset, it's good to be borderline paranoid about these things.
Yeah its a good idea, I might do some wheelchair upperbody exercises (transfers) a bit before doing precise tibias. I'm at 6cm with gnail femurs now so I do have a wheelchair
