Great post!
Did you replace the axles with rebuilt ones, or did you rebuild the CV joints? If you replaced the axles, then there's no need to protect the outgoing axle from hammer blows. Even if not, you'd probably be okay if you left the axle nut threaded on a few threads, then banged on that to back the axle out.
For me, I'd say you can skip the steps of removing the caliper and removing the ball joint bolts. I like to just release the strut bolts, since leaving the ball joint connected gives me the ability to "lever" the new axle into place using the steering spindle.
But whatever makes the job easier is golden! Congrats on a job well done.
