Non-D&D fantasy games will always be welcome. Can't wait to see the results.
Our Sorcerer knew Wish, but the player knew better than to try something like wishing to get to the lowest level of Hell, because on the meta level they wanted to play through this adventure, not to cheese.
The biggest challenge during Tier 4 is still resource attrition. Let them use their big spells, but don't let them rest. The best challenge you can give them at this point is to make a multi-session-spanning dungeon-like structure.
An example from my previous campaign: heroes needed to get to the lowest level of Hell, but they needed to transit through every one of them in process. Enemies were everywhere, and places for rest were virtually nonexisting. I think they had like 1 long rest in four months of play during T4, and it actually was hard for them.
When I did play 5e IRL, I used Ard sheets, tweaking them in Photoshop or Illustrator whenever needed.

I don't know this guy, but he just took my thoughts and layed them in a beautiful written form. Especially parts about bed time stories and trolls -- I tell it to my players exactly like that. If we establish their characters are at least somewhat experienced, we can agree they were told these stories one way or another.
Most people just want to do cool shit.
There are THOUSANDS of other games, and most of them let you do cool shit instead of tracking resources. Just, you know, stop playing D&D.
Hiding rolls is an outdated concept. Rolling in the open builds trust between every participant.
