You're like there is entirely too much pre-modern era on this list!  I better cut out that one composer...

Well, most of my favorites are from the early Modern era. Anyway, Schulhoff seems rather odd to me, but in a good way. Hindemith, too.

The current annihilation of a people on this planet (you know which one it is) is the most documented and at the same time the most preposterously denied.

Hi, John! Unlike my pal Rued here I'm doing quite fine, thanks for asking. Went through a classical hiatus – I'm sure you can relate, haha – but I'm back with a vengeance renewed zeal to explore. Good to see you here, mister!

Enescu and Berlioz quirky? Interesting!

Yes indeed! I find a strong sense of unpredictability and singularity (and often elusiveness) in the music of both composers.

A few others I would've liked to include: CPE Bach, Magnard, Koechlin, Tippett, Pijper

Agreed with all of these.
