Keep in mind Tim isn’t just using moode but needs to support it (which as you can see consumes many hours of his largely uncompensated time per week) and that is simplified greatly when the system is in a known good state.
Reinstalling from an image isn’t that daunting though configuring can be a bit of a pain. It can be streamlined though. I configure the network first, do the audio page, then the system and use the expand the file system to automatically trigger the reboot. After moode comes back up I listen to a radio stream while the mpd initial scan and thumbnail cover generation happens.
ETA: 512 MB ?
