As you wrote #4 showed no sign of vitality. I don't know how this ethyl.. test works so i can't compare. We use butane gas spray (-40 degrees celsius) or CO2 (-70dregrees celsius).

For me a tooth showing no sign of vitality is a candidate for RCT. Since the bleeding was not much it could be sign of a beginning necrosis.
When this occurs I drill without LA to see whether the PT reacts later on when coming close to the pulp for the ultimate vitality test.

To me the treatment sounds correct.

Also think of what will happen when you temporize. If there is still decay it will go on resulting in RCT. Also the removel of decay so close to the pulp could result in trauma as well.

So the chances to end in RCT where very high from the beginning.
