So I have a large cash/bond index fund position but I would like to get it into the S&P500 and just forget about investing forever.

The problem is, and this just may be my naïveté, I look at stock market valuations and things like Sahm Rule, US10Y-US02Y, but I also wonder if it really matters because my horizon is 30+ years.

Should I just do 15% per quarter starting the new year for two years? Or what?

Dump it in VOO and let it sit for ten years. Thank me then.

VOO and SPY have worked well for me.

I just sold part of an International Position ahead of potential tariffs on overseas companies. I also sold a tired old bond fund today.

Just drop the same amount into $SPY every month and reinvest the dividends. You'll do well. Either that or the market sucks in the long run and we're all screwed anyway.
