Superpower would work quite well on Nimflora, as it can function as a lure for Steel/Rock types as it switches in, and the debuffs the move carries don't matter in the slightest since pivoting/wall breaking is the whole point of your cuddle bug!
I never said TS on Chimi was a bad idea, just one that I didn't really understand until now. Now that you explained, it sounds rather clever, but you have to keep in mind that while S-51 A is one of the best Anti Hazard mons, its not the only one. Chlorophyll Coalith under the sun can outspeed any variant of the chimera and threaten with a Earthpower, and then use Defog to clear away the TS. CS Coalith with Levitate can also completely shut down TS too. Both have to watch out for Sludge Bomb and/or a Sun Boosted Overheat, but if Coalith is fast enough to get off the first Move.... And that's just one example I can think of. The meta hasn't really explored good alt hazard cleaners, but I imagine as it develops they will.
No comment on either S-51 A or Metalynx, as I think you more or less have it nailed with those two!
An alternative idea for a Technician/Sturdy set for Astro would be Life Orb with Rock Polish/Nasty Plot, Ominous Wind/Shadow Ball, HP Fighting/Focus Blast, and Psyshock. Those Moves offer perfect coverage too, and with Psyshock it allows the living pile of space debree to break past S.Def Walls it couldn't quite do so well before!

Like the wind, I come and go as I please... but I am always there to provide a comforting breeze.
