Mixing a state plane basemap and a ground designed civil for small site is not problematic. Layout for 300 acres of solar panels raises some questions. I would presume control needs to be converted to ground and then add the civil point file?

No issue at all. Just apply the CSF in the data controller. Enter all coordinates in grid. The controller will scale your ground distances from EDM appropriately. We do this all the time on DOT jobs, that are miles long. Never scale the coordinates.
It all depends on what you are staking. CSF is not a problem for a highway project until you get to the bridges.
Some of what you do may be governed by what the Engineer did. If he treated things one way and you do another, it won't be him that's thought of as wrong.
Find out what he did and test your emulation of that treatment. Do it in a way that fits the work flows of your equipment. Battling about the 'proper way to do it' will get you fired.

CSF is working just fine on the Tappan Zee Bridge.
