It’s two different stories that work their way to a point the long the movie goes on with a series of flash backs.
Cool analysis and a great fit with how Nolan likes to tinker with narrative structure.
However the normal time (color) sequence runs out of narrative momentum after the bomb is working. The security review is just boring. I agree with you that Oppenheimer didn’t care. But..
The Strauss motive. He was either right in his nuclear policy, or he was petty over being insulted. Neither are strong enough hooks to play the counterpoint to the normal-time narrative.
To the extent the movie works, I think it’s because RDJ is such a great actor. Alden Ehrenreich was also fantastic in that act.

The telephone poles at Los Alamos were not spaced nearly far enough apart which screams movie set.
Once seen it ruined the entire movie.
*Only a little sarcastic. I do notice things like that and find them annoying.

It actually takes off after the bomb worked.
You actually see the same scene from two different perspectives when they’re at the table with the advisors arguing over whether or not there was a spy at Los Alamos. Everybody at that table had a hand at Oppie’s demise that you eventually find out throughout the third act.
The entire third act is the most dramatic portion of the film.
