Completely outdoor, yes. Direct sun, but only for a few hours (4ish) as a neighbour's trees were overgrowing our yard, and the house was to the west. Until the neighbour cut down the trees I didn't get much direct light. And it was at a much higher angle than yours since I'm at 43⁰ North.
60 litres is the biggest pot I've ever used, although about 9 litres were taken up by the res.
Mega Crop is synthetic, true. And there was a lot of rain this year, so the plant got a bunch of plain water top watering until the foliage got thick enough to keep it dry.
Not really comparable to your conditions, which is what I was trying to say.
Your description of what you feel SIPs are best for didn't really match my experience is all.
