So /out/, assuming you had the good ol' 3 layers (base, mid, outer) and enough skill to make a raised sleeping platform and safe fire, what's the coldest temperature you could reasonably stay the night in and still want to do it again?

contex;
did my first solo overnighter up in the mountains here in NZ last month, sleeping setup was pic related, camped right on the lake which was a mistake (gonna go somewhere wind-free and higher above the valley this time), think I got a couple hours sleep but insides hurt in the morning and felt drained so went home, which I'd like to avoid. Really into my light pack weight tho thus the want of ideally no sleeping related gear, is it doable outside winter with a fire, warm clothes and insulation from the ground?

Yes. You may also want insulation from the wind. If your tarp is open on the side facing the fire, a Mylar blanket at a 45° angle behind you (opposite the fire) is awesome for bouncing the heat back at you. Plus they pack small and weigh almost nothing.

not taking the tarp this time, plan is to make a lean-to,raised bed with pad on top (inflatable sleeping pad is the one sleeping item i'm holding onto), fire and then a reflector wall if i have time, unless the environment presents a better option

Honestly MATO if you weren't feeling well after the last one you did I'd recommend you git gud at that first and then try to move on, walk before you run and all that.
