Not sure why you don't want to wait till when you're within the limits and apply. It's a lot of money you willing want to throw away!
150 days is a lot of time out of the country. During the Omicron variant, the world wasn't shutdown. You'd have to be on life support for the story to fly.

Working remotely doesn't cut it, the requirement is to be present on UK soil, not to work. Work has no effect on your application.

Naturalization is not a right but a privilege.

Definitely wait until you get to 98 (up to 100 are normally disregarded) days at least, gives yourself always a tolerance of min 2days. Over 100 it goes straight to discretion so it's not worth risking it
