On your last point, I really like “sentientkind”, but the one main time I used it (when brainstorming org names) I received feedback from a couple of non-EAs that sentientkind sounds a bit weird and sci-fi and thus might not be the best term. (I’ve not managed to come up with a better alternative for full-moral-circle-analogue-to-“humankind”, though.)
