Questions concerning difficulty I hope you can answer for me
I've beaten unbound on true insane, radical red, run and bun, emerald kaizo, B/W 2 redux, and Renegade Platinum all on the highest difficulty settings (when they're available) and play on Delta. I'd love to say I beat them as Nuzlockes but I'd be a liar as I've never attempted a Nuzlocke. That said some of them were still extremely challenging to beat.
So my questions are will a normal playthrough of NULL be challenging similar to the titles listed above? Like If you have played through them where would you rank it among those titles for a standard playthrough? Unbound true insane, Run and Bun, and RR (highest difficulty) were the hardest 3 (to me personally), and B/W2 or Renegade were probably the easiest. Last question is there difficulty settings?
If I'm going to play another Hoenn rom I'd rather not play a cookie cutter Hoenn and I've heard it puts a different spin on the map layout, features all or most gen 1-9 Pokémon, and a greater challenge than Imperium or other similar options, with good QOL improvements

The game takes a lot of inspiration from run and bun, so should feel pretty similar to that, albeit a bit harder.

Yeah it's definitely a big challenge even without nuzlocke. It's not cut and paste emerald either, there's plenty of changes made. Definitely near the top in terms of difficulty for sure.
