Monk Subclass: Warrior of One Arm [Way of the Kensei Rework]

I present the Warrior of One Arm, my 2024 revision of the 2014 Way of the Kensei. I really wanted to build a subclass that played around with weapon masteries, and felt no subclass fit the bill better than the Way of the Kensei. As it stands, this class is likely (almost definitely) overtuned compared to other martials (though I'd be curious to hear if you feel otherwise). However, I feel less bad about it given how AU has absolutely broken spellcasters forever (maybe it's time all martials became a little overtuned). I'm always open to and would love constructive criticism, and would really appreciate suggestions!

I've been wrestling with what to do with the Reach property, as currently the blatantly obvious optimization choice is to choose a reach weapon and suffer no consequences.
