I’m not an expert, but wouldn’t proper deletion be writing random ones and zeroes to the block? Multiple times?

I don't think it's been shown to make a difference.

It certainly feels more deleted…

It was sort of true in the past, but not anymore. I think writing random data once is probably fine, even for most state level actors.
