No. I just told you in case you want to give icomplete another try.

Yes. And its meaning is that with buffer completion, the basic and
substring completion styles are used. If you also wanted substring
completion for file names, you'd add a similar entry, e.g.,
(add-to-list 'completion-category-overrides
'(file (styles basic substring)))

Yes, that's another option.
