https://twitter.com/${handle} runs a search after the /tweets timeline is exhausted ("strategy": "tweets"). Nothing else in your list does. You could replace /${handle} with /${handle}/tweets to skip this search.

(also am I missing anything?)

No, don't think so. / (or /tweets), /media, and /with_replies are the only 3 timelines that return tweets directly from a user timeline (and from:HANDLE search).

As for "Least redundant way", I couldn't say, especially if you want all tweets and not just media. /with_replies might be redundant since relevant replies from it should maybe also be included in //tweets, but I can't say for certain how Twitter works these days.
