I would argue that you're still conflating definitions of the word
minhag. But either way...

What outweighs minhag WRT qitniyos? Tefillin on chol hamo'ed violates
an aggadic value, if you base your agadic values on the Zohar, and not
saying Barukh H' leOlam is in contrast to the textual sources. Qitniyos
violates what? Simchas Yom Tov?

...
: At least for the most part [excpet probably for the innovation of  dancing

Only because they share your weighting of minhag avos over nearly everything
else. Although RSRH was known for establishing new minhagim. I think because
of the aggadic value factor, that will be true for any founder of an Ism.

Tir'u baTov!
