Now wondering if #1036 should be kept outside the scope of this one in order to get things out faster... cc @GBKS

I'd split this up into small bits. Each of those checks up there can be one task/PR, maybe even split up further. It's much easier that way to get things done and out.

I think the UI screenshots on contacting editing (https://bitcoin.design/guide/daily-spending-wallet/contacts/#contact-editing) lay down a pretty good best practice for how you could add multiple payment methods to the same contact. Then you could just pick the address / method.
