Macro or Dynamo for Model Prep & Issue Automation?

I'm looking for a way to simplify my practice model issue process. As a brief description, our current process is:
- Detach model from central

- Remove all RVT & DWG links

- Wipe all sheets but Project Startup Sheet with pyRevit

- Wipe all views with pyRevit

- Purge using pyRevit

- PDF Project Startup Sheet using DiRoots

- Save RVT file

- Export IFC


I recall from my AutoCAD days, I would record macros for repetitive tasks, but I understand Revit doesn't have that functionality. Would it be best to pursue the macro route to automate this, or is Dynamo my best friend?

In essence I'm after a button my users can press to automate this process in a detached model.

 

Either path would require a fair amount of learning for me.

we are using a plug in called RTV Tools for just this kind of purpose.
https://www.rtvtools.com/ requires some setup but they are pretty helpful with it.
