I'd recommend testing on many more hashes, but I don't know if you can
obtain many more matching your criteria (from IoT devices?)

All modes support session restore. No known bugs for incremental mode.

Incremental mode follows patterns seen in the passwords it was trained
on. The supplied .chr files were trained on RockYou. If your patterns
are similar, they should work well. If your patterns are very
different, you'll need to re-train on those for it to work well.

I suggest you don't "book time on more modern hardware to speed the test
up", but instead use a faster and unsalted hash type, then scale your
attack duration to your target scenario by the observed p/s figures.
