Need some advice on coolant bleed using the lisle spill free funnel

You never mentioned if the car overheats during idle. If it doesn't then I think you bled it properly. I would say just let it idle with the funnel attached until radiator fan kicks in. Put the cap on and drive it. If heater wouldn't kick at all then there would be an air pocket but if it kicks in on high then its ok. The heater works based on outside temp sensor so if its pretty hot outside plus heat soaked from being stationary, it won't blow hot until set to max. It almost sounds like you're over thinking it little bit. Over the years wrenching on cars I have been there myself. Some times finishing jobs like that your brain thinks that there might be something wrong because all of the sudden you pay close attention to detail.
