And finally, reading a work that's been translated doesn't preclude you from reading works that are originally in Japanese.

Well, you can only read one thing at a time, so at least in some sense it does. Especially early on when reading is slow and it will take a while to progress from one work to another. I definitely agree that when you already know the plot it's a nice way to keep yourself from getting too lost but in that case why not pick something japanese that has been translated into english and you have already watched/read/played instead of the other way around?

Books probably get more professional translations than something like crunchyroll yes (although there are still many problems even with translations of novels!), but even then... why pick something that has gone through a transformative process, may contain errors, likely lacks nuance in many places, and is all-around almost certainly inferior to the original work when you can instead go with something that has none of these pitfalls
