I think your process is missing backlink check look at domains history old content backlinks quality and spam signals and make sure hosting separately won't hide bad links from google
You skipped the most important part, vetting the domain before you buy. Check the wayback history for gaps or a spammy past (pharma, casino, japanese keyword hack), look through the old backlink profile for junk anchors, and make sure it is not deindexed. A domain with a dirty history drags the link down no matter how well you rebuild it.
Rebuild it around the topic it had before, not just your general niche, otherwise the old links lose their relevance. Hosting matters less than people think. The real footprints are shared nameservers, the same analytics or GSC account, the same theme and the same registrar on every domain. When you link to the target, use a contextual link inside real content, not sitewide or in the footer. Waiting a month before adding it is fine.

It is imperative to check about the domain's history (relevancy, backlinks, etc). If it is relevant and has good quality backlinks then yes, you should go ahead and purchase it.
