You don’t need to break the yarn after each color A (welt) section, as the pattern states. Because of the short rows in color B, the distance between color A/welt sections is only 3 rows. So you should carry your welt yarn across those 3 color B rows before you start the short rows, and have considerably less ends to weave in :)

I cast on 5 stitches instead of 3 for the i-cord bind off, so that those would be a little more balanced with the welting rows (based on my gauge).

I also found it easier to use two DPNs for the bind-off. Rather than slipping all of the i-cord stitches back onto the left working needle, I would slip 1 Shusui stitch onto the DPN with the I-cord stitches and then slide them right to the end of the needle, then knit onto the second DPN. (I worked so much faster this way!)

Finally wove in all my edges, blocked, and photographed. Finished knitting : August 27. Wove in ends : some time in September. OFFICIALLY FINISHED : October 15.
(Phew, there’s a bit of a lead time between finishing and really FINISHING a piece for me.)
