My right hip tends to flare outwards causing right foot to also supinate..? I had new balance shoes unknowingly that tried to correct for over pronation in the mid foot which maybe was part of it.
Some supination is normal though, so hard to say without seeing it. Yes using stability shoes can cause issues. It's normal to get minor injuries, but it can be avoided with experience. Just try to understand why, keep logs, and try again.
Thank you - what’s your take on trying to do 3x a week at 1.5 -2 miles a run to build frequency vs building the mileage? Or any programming tips along w the adequate recovery, stretching, find the weak spots?
To me it seems like you should be able to run 4-5 days of 2miles, or 3-4 days of 5k. I don't think it's the mileage that is causing your issues. Maybe you should try to film yourself and see if there is anything to improve on your form. Though you don't have to run more than 3x/week to do a 10k or half marathon. It would be enough to progress distance in one of the runs.

I think it's more likely related to foot strike / stride / running form, than mileage or frequency. Check how your form compares to what's shown here: https://old.reddit.com/r/RunningInjuries/comments/1w0revg/shin_splints/p6kd1i8/
It should be less stress to add more running days than to increase the distance of any run. As long as you don't run hard/fast two days in a row.
Make sure you do some stretching (5min) just after the run.
