I guess it depends on the application you have in mind. In principle, the most deconfused handle I can think of is a full mathematical formalization with just the right number of degrees of freedom. Maybe the best analogy is with the theories in physics.
Regarding the textbook, I would say that you probably need pretty good level of deconfusion to write a good textbook, but the textbook writing also involves a lot of bridging the inferential distance with newcomers that doesn’t count as deconfusion for me.

Does that answer your question?
Yes, thank you!
