I also have pretty limited experience with post-rattish meetups and probably mostly see the parts of TPOT I agree with, but I feel like typical post-rats don’t fit into any of these “types,” except maybe the first one.
The kind of post-rat I think is good, and perhaps even common, is something like what’s described in Gordon’s comment. Basically a rationalist who realizes that it is possible to have and act on non-legibilized knowledge, and who knows when to make decisions based on what feels right rather than what they can convincingly argue will maximize their utility function. I think this mindset is valuable and not so common among vanilla rationalists.
