I agree with this, and everything else you said sounds right on the mark.

When there’s no easy alternative, look for ways to keep the same fingers on the same strings in the preceding chord. If you still can’t play the change smoothly, it often helps to have a look at the last note of the first chord and the first note of the second chord, to see if you’re actually trying to do something unreasonable there, like using the same finger on different strings. In that case, just change one of the two notes to make it flow. Open strings can be useful like that.
