That's really unnecessarily complicated workflow you have. It's achievable by yt-dlp with just 3 flags:

--extract-audio

--format bestaudio

you're unnecessarily making huge assumptions. Some people don't want the bestaudio or mp3

If I would make any assumptions, I would post another 30 options from my config that are nice to have when you download audio from youtube. These 3 are exactly equivalent to what gp does.

Direct to mp3 doesn't expose all the encoding options one may want.
