I'm a speech pathologist and have supported many picky eaters' families over the last few years--the Antilop and Trip Trapp are the two most recommended high chairs in the field. You aren't just doing something "good enough" by choosing this high chair, you're doing what many SLP's and feeding therapists recommend. Don't sell yourself short!
I totally agree on the lesson of “good enough is actually great,” and try to internalize that as much as possible. We also have this high chair and love it for all the reasons you noted.
The one problem I have with it is that the legs stick out farther than I think. I understand it’s for stability, but my brain always thinks I’m clearing the leg when I try to maneuver around it without looking down and I trip every time!
Oh that is very true about the legs being wider and making it very trippable! I think every standing high chair has the same issue — like you said, wider base for stability; I definitely remember that being true of the trip trapp and the graco one.
💯 on the "good enough" solutions. I keep learning that unless there's a real problem to solve, whatever you're doing is probably great
It’s the hardest lesson for me as a perfectionist but also the most freeing

I love food diaries too: The Green Spoon does family ones that are fun to read.
thanks for the rec!
