Advice request: Attempting a 1948, but also have evidence of a consulate attempt in the past.

Apologies for asking a question that you all must get over and over. To be honest, I was fairly confident my paths were closed, and stopped paying attention. My attorney wants to keep moving forward, but I do not believe my case is strong and would like advice.

We were pursuing a 1948 case through my GGM. No hiccups wrt the line, other than I'm a generation too far removed. Previously, in 2022 I was attempting to go the consulate route via other Italian relatives. I was able to secure a waiting-list spot in 2023. I have evidence of this. That's the extent of my efforts/evidence.

I'm out of luck, right? While there may be cases here and there where that was "enough", the vast majority of rulings would indicate that I do not have a path to citizenship? Broadly speaking, do I have that correct?

My attorney wants to move forward, and expresses confidence. I have my doubts.

Sorry for not doing my own deep dive in this sub. I know you all do tremendous work and put in a lot of effort. I've got some life things going on that prevents giving this my full attention. I apologize.
