Not saying this thread is a bad idea, but there are concert threads where it has been (and is) discussed.

Anyone who wrote Cigarette Song #2 was never going to be singing into his 70s.
Everything's perfectly all right now. We're fine. We're all fine here, now, thank you. How are you?

I would regain so much respect for Ed if he shifted to a more realistic gear and sang songs within his actual current abilities, for aesthetic, health, and longevity purposes. I don't know who he thinks he's foolin'. You can still keep on rockin' in the free world with a chiller vibe. Phoebe Bridgers and Billie Eilish can do it and so can you.

I was a singer in a rock and roll band.
Had command of all my voices.
Now you don’t know how fucked I am.

Yeah, it's aggravating because he obviously is aware of this because he was doing it like you said up to Avocado, and has done this with a lot of his subsequent solo output.

The high part in the chorus for Quick Escape. I love it on the album and wish it didn't exist when I hear the song live.

As the tour wore on, they tuned several songs down to a lower key: Who Ever Said, Superblood Wolfmoon, Quick Escape, Seven O'Clock, Never Destination, Retrograde.

The recording is what matters most to me. As long as he can actually do it in the studio when they're recording, I don't care what has to be done in the live setting to compensate.
