direct drive actually but yeah it's old and sloppier than it once was

I have been hammering at this for 2-3 weeks now since I started using larger nozzles and I just don't think there's anything to be done about it.

Using Combing (keep tavels within infill) in Cura by definition prevents 100% of stringing if your model doesn't have multiple "towers" to print, but I think the only way forward for me from here is to switch to buying PETG-CF, go back down to 0.4mm, or do some mods to my printer (or build a Voron) so that I can move the print head way faster.

That does help btw - tuning the speed up as far as you can go, set retraction speed to the max you extruder can manager, maybe enable the arc zhop moves so it starts moving at the same time as lifting, and printing in an enclosure so that you have 0 curling and can disable zhop entirely. Also anecdotally, PETG seems to stick to hardened steel nozzles a bit less than bronze

Years ago I had this printer dialed to 0 stringing but that was with a 0.4mm nozzle in an enclosure with brand new Hatchbox PETG and much less worn machine
