Not sure how effective this is unless you're exclusively talking about offline binaries rarely updated, coupled with an external firewall to mitigate workarounds.

I'm not sure what you mean by "offline binaries" here. Do you mean applications that don't need to talk over the internet? If so, then yes, that's all I can effectively cover. I'm extremely cautious about such what applications I'll use that require talking over the network.
I in no way claim that my approach is airtight. It's purely a "best effort" sort of thing. But it's far better than nothing. I'm better off for it even if it doesn't stop everything.
