I used pseudocode to shorten the example. The structure is good.

Using nested let

let
    Source1 =
        let 
            Workbook = File.Contents(...),
            Final    = Table.SelectColumns( ... )

function NewUser {
    <#
    .synopsis
        Create a new user with a name. Any "blank" values will fallback with a default value

    .DESCRIPTION
        If you use ValidateIfNotSomething, invalid or missing values throws.
        
        - Sometimes you want the command that always works, with a fallback value
        - $null, empty string to count as blank

SVG's support CSS variables.

CSS variables

Instead of hard coding values in the whole file:

<path fill="#123456" .... >

You can declare a variable named --color-main and resuse it.
