Pre-LR Clonk Questions

I discovered today that I don't really need a 3rd level of monk after all, as I don't have the real-life DEX or Concentration to handle the finger aerobics required for finishing moves. Sure, those 1-minute light buffs sound nice, but I can't really think of how to lay all of those icons out when my main shortcut keys are devoted to healing/offensive spells, weapon sets, shield clickies, and toggling metas/elemental stances.

Though it will cost me, I plan to do a +1 Lesser Reincarnation to recitify things and return to a generalist build that better fits my playstyle, which consists primarily of healing/buffing, offensive casting, and making use of Stunning Fist & debfuffing weapons rather than focusing on melee damage (I'm perfectly happy with the big numbers from DP/BB).

Before I do so, I have a few questions:
1. Are TWF feats are necessary to land Stunning Fist reliably, and if so, how many?
2. Would I be able to manage with no TWF feats, a starting STR of 12, a +2 tome, Divine Power/Favor, Recitation, Rage, and attack bonuses from gear (currently crafted +2 competence goggles & the Sora Kell set)?
3. What about just picking up TWF or TWF & ITWF?

It would be nice to free up those feats to boost casting, and I would drop my starting DEX score slightly as well, but not too low since I appreciate having evasion & AC.

At any rate, thanks for the reading! I'll post a tentative build for feedback after hearing back from everybody and playing with the planner.

the 2 weapon fighting feats dont really do anything for your ability to hit creatures with.(unless you use weapons, then it lowers the penalty for using 2 weapons)
what it does, is increate the number of hits you get per minute.

from the back of my memory as unarmed strikes you get 111,3 hasted per minute which is your main hand.
your off hand, secondairy barsm sort of speak you have an chance to get them.

20% for no feats and 20% for every aditional 2 weapon fighting feats(3), up to 80%.

so normal two weapon fighting = 40% (111,3 * 1.4 = 155.8 attacks per min)
and greater is 80% (111,3 * 1.8 = 200.3 attacks per min)
