Talking about kohlrabi ... seeds for hybrid are mighty expensive. It's
not so bad when transplanting, but I want to direct-sow my kohlrabi next
spring. Given this is a low-revenue crop, I cannot justify thinning
expensive hybrids. Any suggestion for an OP variety (or a cheap hybrid)
that is performing decently?

I was thinking about trying White Vienna from William Dam.
