Not lost around here, certainly not lost in my post earlier when I mentioned this is exactly what I do.
But that's really not relevant to the conversation, because then the device is no longer a Chromebook in terms of system/solution. It's just a re-purpose of the hardware, like saying Coke is a good cola because the bottles can be used as plant watering devices.

The snag that remains for me is the internal storage limitation. If I could add an SSD drive or even an mSD card, then everything would be parsnips.
You can. Many folks replace the storage device in their Chromebook, and/or augment it with an SD card.
