Appreciated the prompts you suggested here, definitely didn't know about SCAMPER. Just a quick question, did you find good value in Lateral Thinking: Creativity Step by Step? Reviews weren't particularly great so I was a little hesitant to pick that up.
I want to second your point, which is that idea generation is a numbers game. The key meta skill is deferring judgement & evaluation until you have formed the idea.

Yes, I liked it. There are some chapters that I particularly found useful, but I found value in it overall. I haven't tested other books on the topic.
If I may be so bold as to add my take on idea generators: https://tidyfirst.substack.com/p/thinkies-introduction
