Your “low light” filter is an unneccessary hack: just use the 'reduce whitepoint' feature and add it to power-button menu for quick access.
... which doesn't help the mayor annoyance that safari still doesn't support dark mode! (FF to the rescue)
Reduce white point and low light mode are different and can be combined, at least on my 2016 SE.
"Zoom" settings seems like a very odd spot to put something like a low light filter, which is why I never found it.
Thanks for sharing! (and the same to your other half!)

I make use of big text mode on my linux laptop because 1080p on a 13" laptop makes everything tiny and fractional scailing is still a beta thing right now.
I've long used the Mac's ctrl-scroll shortcut for zooming in on the display. Ages ago, when I was working in the same room as the design staff for a company I worked at, they saw me do that and were quick to activate it on their iMacs as it's really handy for checking pixel-level rendering on web interfaces.
Things like:
The triple-tap-to-zoom feature has a “low light” filter that works on top of your brightness setting so you can use it to get a lower-than-lowest-brightness for reading in bed at night (even the lowest brightness isn’t low enough sometimes).
Reachability setting if you have a big phone and small hands let’s you drag the entire interface down with 1 finger and reach buttons at the top of the UI.
LED Flash for Alerts gives you a visual notification if you work somewhere where you need your phone on silent but also can’t use vibration alerts (she works in a medical field and her phone sits across the room on a table).
Lots of interesting ideas in an area of Settings 99% of people never touch.
