Much deleted, so my reply to your question is more obvious.

Not what I was talking about. Is there a way to NOT perform the
update you mention up above, by inserting the data with the values
already set properly. I don't see why that can't be incorporated into
your solution, but I'm not sure how exactly your solution is working.

Note that customer requirement that it all be in SQL is a bit idiotic.
