Bucket weight is probably fine. I kind of want you to get the combo of resistance and workout of posterior chain for a while.
Bucket posture looks best so far in that most recent video, esp. in side view! Keep at it. Keep trying to get balanced/stacked like I mentioned before each way before shifting to the other side, then you can do it quicker and quicker. I'm probably going to ask you to toss the bucket in a week, but not yet.
For RtB take a day or two off if you get sore. People underestimate how many small muscles it recruits too. If you do it too much you'll start to fatigue and compensate (ask me how I know lol).
Royal Coil is where I expect a lot of adults to be. Don't feel bad - I did similar things for waltz for years and still couldn't quite get it comfortably at first. Nudge it 1-2'' at a time in terms of the depth of your "sit" on the front leg, how far you extend the rear leg, and how far into the side bend you get. A day at a time. Even now it usually takes me a few reps to get into my full range of motion and I've been doing it for months. That mobility really matters for advanced backhand.
Will summarize my routine in a bit - it might help you since it looks like you have a lot of similar issues I had to attack.
