Two entirely separate issues:
1
I can't see pencil pixels above 200% view,
could this be a RAM issue, both my laptop
and desktop are affected (Linux, 16gb each)?
2
How do you GLOBALLY disable all forms of
dithering, feathering, anti-aliasing and
all such mixes?
TIA

can't reproduce it ( Linux Mint x64, 16 GB ) with the + and - keys
scaling from 50% - 1100%.
It's strange that 2 different computers have the same problem.
Do you have special Pencil settings?

maybe somewhere in the preferences settings?

maybe it's indeed a memory problem.
I use 1600 * 1200 as standard template.
Your template is 17020 * 11546.
That's a big, very very big template.
Using your specs give me this warning:
Confirm image size
You are trying to create an image
with a size of 2,0 GB.
An image of the chosen size will use more memory than
what is configured as "Maximum new image size" in the
Preferences dialog ( currently 75,5 MB ).
^^ ( my Gimp setting )
Didn't try your template settings.

Wouldn’t Inkscape be a better fit (scalable vector graphics) for such a
use?
How would you print a picture with this dimensions?

Print in pieces and join them together.

hmmm, a thousend pieces puzzle and a too small table?
Nice job for a windy day in your backgarden.
I've been with gimp since paintshop 3.x, don't need yet another learning curve although I've done a few steps with inkscape but don't really know
if it could compete.

With the precision of laser printers putting a mosaic together is a no-brainer,
As for wiring diagrams you should see some
existing ones in shop manuals that are folded up up in 3-ring binders
and can be laid out on much of a room's floor area.

Real resolution being about 13k x 9k and many layers, this desktop
wallpaper is really just a thumbnail and I don't see myself sweating all
the vector formulae that would obviously be involved :-)

This is work in progress, the only thing I have to wrap my brain around
are the wiring intricacies, don't need a new program to cram in addition >(sans prejudice).

working without layers would be horrible. Imaging you have to do this
on an old school drawing table.

I understand why you have about 0 % motivation to learn a vector
oriented program. Your brain is GIMP wired :D. And even working on a
laptop screen, wow.
