Nobody ever really knows the "Five years on, what will have been a smart choice today?" They for sure had NO CLUE in October 2019 about October 2024.
Historically, most major hiring of civilians has been people with >1000hrs TPIC. A five year contract today doesn't seem like an awful option. Evaluate it against your other options, to include leaving aviation. It may well be your best choice. It seems likely that such a contract is going to be the only way to a regional job this year.

Not sure if that's meant to be a rhetorical question or not. I'll assume it's not.

I'm over a year from separating, but just reading the tea leaves I'm for sure leaving with <1,500 total but with R-ATP mins and around 300 TPIC.

Hmmm. Why would one ever think otherwise?
Perhaps because you made it such an issue. That was you, wasn't it? Hard to recall...
Will having my ATP help or hurt me?
