Credible/Honest Apologetics?

[Angrboda]

Not accepting the PSR does not imply accepting that reason cannot be trusted or that the universe is not intelligible.  That's a non sequitur.

Hmmm...I was stating a summary opinion, not attempting a logical demonstration. And that was not what I was thinking. Not accepting the PSR undermines faith in the universe's intelligibility.

For you, maybe, but that seems to be because you need it to shore up some otherwise shaky conclusions you prefer to hold. It's motivated reasoning, pure and simple.

I wasn't claiming your demonstration was inadequate. That would be a straw man. I was impugning your conclusion. We've discussed these matters before. I wasn't shooting blind.

But speaking of trade-offs, turning a blind eye to issues with the PSR so that you can strengthen beliefs you haven't reached rationally undermines basic rationality and creates an unintelligible worldview. You've traded one disaster for another.
