I can't unsee the strip in the middle of the rocket with the arrows as a KSP stage separator

It sounds to me more like a "block upgrade" than redesigned for a new market. It's currently designed at 30 meters tall and 4 meters at its widest, the height of a Firefly Alpha but ~twice the diameter. With the added reuse hardware, I doubt it's much more than the IIRC 1600kg to LEO they advertised in the past.

I'll admit to being a normie in relation to small space startups. What do you think of Stoke space? They at least appear to have a plan that isn't just small-lift breadcrumbs left from SpaceX.
