but are you able to maintain a consistent sleep rhythm long-term? like going to bed at 2am and waking up at 11am? or do you have to guard against continuous rotation of that rhythm (going to bed later and waking up later until you basically wake up at 2pm or later)?

Oh hey that's me. It's a fucking curse. I just can't get to sleep earlier, and any delay (indulging into "one more episode", or reading a book a bit too long) just makes me wake up later. Even setting alarm clock doesn't really work I just... start getting sleepy at same late hour even if I feel groggy half the day coz of reduced sleep

Most of the time it’s steady 3am-11am for the last couple of years, and it’s perfect for me based on how I feel. 5am-12pm works well enough too if needed.

Usually I can’t sleep earlier than 12am, but even if I do, if I wake up 10am or earlier, it doesn’t feel good. In that case, if I’ve slept less than four uninterrupted sleep cycles, I’m most likely a wreck.
