I have limited experience in hitting and more years of swinging. I have proven to myself that I'm structured better for hitting and it shows in my game.
Having some familiarity with both and imagining a similar handicap, I think that 3 barrel hitting might be a good option. Swinging has a bit more hip and leg action in my experience as the drag is more "ground up". Hitting is more of a "bracing" procedure in that the right side is used to brace against the thrusting right arm, even though the left side carries most of the momentum.
I mention 3 barrel vs. 4 barrel because the start down for 4 barrel is a swingers start down. In hitting it's an initial hard cross line (vs. plane line) hip thrust (action) off the right side that takes up slack in the arms and starts the right shoulder downplane via PP #4. That is probably too much from a balance perspective to manage until you are comfortable with the movement. Not impossible, just challenging.
A 3 barrel hit avoids the violent start down but doesn't compromise the violent push down onto the ball. You will still need to have right side balance, but you don't have to rely on the quads and hamstrings as a power source. Once the body is in balance as Ed mentions above, you can push the primary lever as hard as you can manage while staying in balance.
Swinging in my opinion, is too much total dragging/turning effort from the right side to the left. Not being biased here. Just imagining your situation in my own swing.
I highly admire that you are not only golfing well, but have also found the best source of golf instruction available. Congrats!
