Sadly, the uppy downy Wahoo thing is out of budget, so is there a dumb equivalent that is relatively cheap? Considering a dedicated turbo bike setup and would like to save space.

Yes. It will feel like you're going downhill all the time, so you'll be faster. 🙂

Are you wanting to be able to adjust the height on-the-fly or happy to have it sitting at 1 level?

One level is fine.

5e's solution isn't bad.
