>Is there any reason a cheaper solid state amp like a Schitt or a Topping or a Monolith THX that put out 6W at 32ohm wouldn’t be sufficient enough to drive anything but the most very demanding headphones?

No. It's bullshit. Clean power is clean power. Anyone telling you that you need a $2,000 amp to drive anything is either a marketer or has drank the marketer's Kool-Aid.

To be fair, I just built an Iris, and they don't warn you about using thick plates and hotswap boards. (Luckily, I went with acrylic and solder PCB.) Splitkb does if you use their Composer tool, but I didn't see anything about it anywhere else. If this is your first build, it's an easy mistake to make.
