Only you can say whether or not this will work for you. One point - you won't need a cab in your patch if you're going through a physical guitar cab.
Again, only you can say whether or not this works for you. Personally, I go direct to PA and rely on a monitor wedge to hear myself. Admittedly, we generally use my own PA so it's a known quantity and I know it's going to sound good. If we use a 3rd-party PA, I take along one of my own wedges just in case the provided monitoring is not up to scratch.
I wouldn't say you need a FRFR speaker for acoustic guitar and vocal, assuming you're going into a PA.
Do you know anyone near you who already has a Helix? Sounds to me like you need to try one to see how it works for you.

The new tuner is really smooth, but does anyone else think the updated graphics are going to be harder to see in problematic lighting? (sunlight, particular stage-lighting, from the other side of the stage etc)
Of course, you don't *have* to update it at all if you're happy with it as is...

I think what it is, in very summarised summary, is a big collection of patches which are kind of averaged settings from all of CustomTone and some commercial patches. Each one has multiple Snapshots which are different settings based on averages/defaults and whatnot (read the page - he explains it at greater length) - but it gets interesting when you see it's organised in such a way as to present you a bunch of starting points to create your own based off of them.
I found this video really interesting - in the first couple of comparisons where it is simple SM57 close mic versions being compared, gotta say my preference in that example was for the Celestion IR
But when it switched to multi-mic (inc room) IR versus stock "dual cab, 57+121, pus 60% early reflections" I much preferred the stock cab.
I'll be testing out more early reflections settings I think

The reason I ask is the lead singer in my band has expressed an interest in picking up the guitar again for a few songs in the set. He doesn't want to cart an amp to gigs for just a couple of songs.
So my initial thought was to set up a 2 independent rig preset in helix. However due to DSP limitations i'm finding I'm having to compromise on certain things, plus the fact I would have to change sounds for 2 people.
So my thinking is to setup a signal path for him with just a clean amp (Probably the Mesa Lonestar Clean amp) and IR, and suggest he runs his pedalboard through the Helix. I think he would much prefer that as he is familiar with his pedals and knows how he likes them to sound.
So I'm looking for real world experience with pedals into the front end of a Helix using a clean Amp. Does the Helix amps react as you would expect a real amp would to drive pedals etc.
One thing I did have to do though is lower the gain on the clean amp model. Easy to drive them when you don't the actual volume of the amp to contend with.
I play guitar and take photos of stuff. I also like beans on toast.
