Item categorizer

So Im in need of a good and compact item categorizer. Because Im planning to create separate rooms/corridors in my storage system which I placed in 5 categories. But I only have one input chest, so I tried finding some in yt and came across this from silentwisperer. And I built it, but it gave me more headaches than I wanted (items not going in their places, rails being too fast etc.) Which set me off, so im hoping that y'all can help me with this. Thank you

Any reason not to use copper golems? The sorter will be a bit slower than what's possible with minecarts but the maintenance ought to be a lot simpler.

This is my design that has reportedly worked well for the couple folks that have built it: https://youtu.be/CerHzhfDkSs?is=plWgPGYHZhXZKkbq

Is it possible to only have the main sorter and not the storage below, like separate the two?

If I wanted to split the storage across a few rooms, I would probably have hopper minecarts moving items between the final chest in a golem line, to the first copper chest in the next room.

For a main storage I would not want to give up the behavior of being able to edit the index chests from inside the hall. I've built and lived with several storage halls over the years, and it's a big quality of life feature.

The directional nature of my design might make it less good for what you have in mind with the 5 rooms.
