As I've said in other posts, and as I thought you yourself supported, Court St is probably too shallow unless you envision construction on the surface through Brooklyn Heights, which won't be too likely, believe you me.

I did write that it looks challenging, but I'm not an engineer. Surface construction in Brooklyn Heights would face local opposition. How much probably depends on how invasive it is, and how long it lasts.

My thinking is now that Court St is probably not the best option. That said, when the day comes to extend the SAS to Brooklyn, does anyone seriously think that Court St will not be on a list of potential alignments? A full cost-benefit analysis will be conducted, and intangibles like the Museum's benefits will be factored in.

We've probably got at least a decade until this becomes a real part of the MTA's agenda.
