if you snatch a popular torrent that is fine but with dying torrents that is quite harmful

Agree. I dont delete anything unless the quality is shit

I'm considering getting a seedbox because with my current storage setup, and my unwillingness to keep the vpn up all the time 2.0 is the best I can do.

This was annoying me too, and I solved it by spinning out a VM that exists just to run qbittorrent and the vpn connection.

I use Gluetun for that. It's a docker container that sets up the VPN and qBittorrent in two containers and routes all traffic from qBittorrent through the VPN.

If there's no one left to seed, the torrent dies. Seeding back at least 200% ensures the torrent stays healthy.

Sometimes you need to seed back more than 200% because the other two people might not be able to seed it back. I would generally not set a limit

True, but as a minimum you should be doing 200%.
Also in a ideal scenario that 200% would be spread out to a lot more people then just 2.
