consensus?

Dunno about consensus, but there's no need to cycle a large tank like this in
the old sense of adding a load of fish and watching the nitrites climb. Add a
few fish at a time and space the additions about a month apart, and the tank
will cycle without any detectable rise in ammonia or nitrites. Don't buy any
fish that you don't want to keep. Size matters in this. If you add a $200 queen

Clown fish are a good first addition; related to damsels, and as
tolerant of spikes.
