You also there have your answer as to why I don't think Court St is deep enough on the other end of your proposed line.

While I don't know if it is too shallow, considering that the shallowest SAS station built with a TBV is 50-60' deep (55th St,) it does look challenging. I don't know how deep Court St. is, but if I had to guess, I'd say that it is 40' deep.


Also, however, I don't think it's fair to read "designed so as not to preclude" to read something more like "designed to enable". The alignment looks more aimed at northwestern Staten Island than Brooklyn Heights.

I disagree. "Designed so as not to preclude" makes it fairly clear that the SAS will be south of all existing subway lines before it leaves Manhattan. The orientation is towards Staten island, which is why I said that connecting the SAS to Brooklyn would involve a "slightly circuitous route."
