That’s an excellent list, but it’s impossible to fit them all in.
I’d try to find room for:
The one where Marge goes to work for Mr. Burns at the power plant.
The one where Homer is prescribed medicinal marijuana and he and Otto hang out in the attic.
The one where he reverts to being a hippy and makes a special batch of juice out of the two old guys’ “personal plants” (and he finds out his middle name is ‘Jay’).
When the Simpsons came to Australia. We used to make the students write an essay on satire using this episode as an example. They hated writing the essay but enjoyed watching it again and again! Same for me.
1 You only move twice
2 Homers enemy

true, there is just so much quality in those early seasons.
I almost put in treehouse horror V- homer goes full shining, and when he goes back in time and can’t touch anything.The 3rd act when the teachers are cannibles was weak so i didnt put it in
For a comedy- the simpsons had some really heart warming moments, especially in those first few seasons.
My eight year old son was asked as part of a school assignment to write about three public holidays and their meaning. His teacher was still laughing when he spoke to us about my son’s serious inclusion of Wacking Day. Son got a pass on the assignment.
