How is “already” defined outside of time? ;-) [besides this I believe a similar model solves all problems (and you can still have “free will” if you want]

Subjective free will is in no useful sense related to determinism, and freedom makes no sense outside of a subjectivist context. "already" means that they are simultaneously implemented in the substrate, rather than successively. Simultaneity intuitively precludes dynamicity.

Are those mutually exclusive?

No, we can have fat eternalist time, or course, with the entire phase space of all evolutions being instantiated at once.

(I still hold with) Emergent time: only exists for observers inside the universe.

Relativistic time is only defined with respect to an observer. But here, we are referring to the computational arrow, which is much more basic.

the "fat time" concept is very much inline with how Japanese shintoism sees time. This recent anime played with this nicely: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Your_Name
