Based on my quick skimming
You are missing another point, which is that -in addition to the
gpg.conf client preferences- the keys you are encrypting to have
preferences, too.
In fact, it is noted in the SE answer you linked:

Hi,
Apologies in advance for my profound ignorance on
matters cryptological.
I use an RSA 2048 keypair for encrypting and decrypting
files, not to send to anyone, just for backups.
I'd like to manage my keys according to the
recommendations of NIST SP 800-57. Luckily, I don't
actually have to
