For anyone thinking of doing similar, you can get pretty sturdy planters/pots/vases using vase mode but with really thick extrusions, like in PrusaSlicer setting the extrusion width to something like 0.8mm (using .4mm nozzle). Takes a lot of the fragility and flexing out of vase-mode prints, and it’s surprising how thick extrusions you can make with a regular .4 nozzle.

I use higher temps, 2mm layer height, 0.6mm line width, with a 0.4mm nozzle. I find that going higher than 150% has an effect on my surface quality.
True, it does affect surface quality a bit, but I found that for some uses, it’s was actually desirable or at least tolerable
Yes, 200% is definitely water tight.
