That's up to you to a degree. Looking back at my chart it looks like I had settled on 72% as my preference for that style. It still has good texture but was easier to handle.
Awesome video! I've never watched a cigar being rolled before so that was very interesting. I liked that no one was talking the whole damn time, just letting the process speak for itself.
Even with the heads up from Jeff's post, I was also still surprised by how dry the filler seemed to be.
The method looks fine but I'm worried about the recipe. If my math is right that's 77-78% hydration, which is very high and would probably be a real pain to work with.

This will need to be tweaked based on your pan size, but it makes one large and one small loaf for me.
First stage: (autolyze)

Exactly my setup. Smoking right out of the cooler/tupper at 65% works fine for me, but I do try to keep my planned next smokes in a leaky desktop that runs a bit lower.
I did a sourdough sandwich loaf and some rolls this weekend. I forgot to make enough extra starter to do a crusty loaf for myself, I'll have to do that later this week sometime.
Forgot to post my follow up last night - I still had one spigot left to rebuild after finishing the MF Centurion, so busted out an old Punch London Club Maduro.
