This is unfortunate. I think the next good thing is BetzBone

I disagree, I think the next best thing is frames or LATN in the tibia.

It would appear so. The Betzbone does have its disadvantages and the hospital in St Ingbert they had to relocate to because of covid isn't said to be the best, but in my mind weight-bearing as well as the experience of the surgeon trumps all.

How is the next best thing not Precice 2.2?

It comes down to what you are able to tolerate during the lengthening process but Precise 2.2 does not allow you to fully weight bear until months 4 or 5 when there is sufficient callous growth so to some people including myself that isn’t a suitable method for bilateral cosmetic lengthening. I think people underestimate the importance of weight bearing and I’m not even referring to being able to walk around on the nails - that’s less important. To me, the biggest advantage of a weightbearing nail is being able to do basic things like brush your teeth, stand in the shower, walk to the fridge without the fear of your nail snapping in half or relying on a walker for 5 months. With Precise this these tasks aren’t possible unassisted and it’s tougher to promote bone growth when you can’t weight bear as well. Again it all comes down to lifestyle and what you can individually tolerate but personally, if I couldn’t weight bear I feel I would have become so frustrated and stopped lengthening at 5cm to just go back to normal activities.

That being said Precise 2.2 with current situation is definitely a valid option and I understand why people would go that route also.

I am thinking about doing 5 cm first and then after 8-12 months gap rebreaking and doing 3 cm femur. I think this path is better for people who don't want to wait for 2 years.

Keep in mind that it is in Debiparshad's (and other surgeon's) best interest to tell people it will take longer than it will. They have businesses built on CLL, after all -- so it is in their best interest to start selling precice ASAP.

With that being said, I don't see how it would realistically take longer than 12 months, if their initial timeframe was only ~5 months (from Feb to July).

You can't rush your health.

Well, no. They'd have a much higher demand for business if Stryde was available. If they wanted to simply get people to commit to CLL and pay a deposit, they would lie and say Stryde is coming back soon (like some other doctors did).
