You certainly have a perfect storm there to work with. All of it is doable but you would have to develop the right scripting rules in the MFA method to orchestrate all of it, and you'll have to learn a lot to get to that point.

As for the "task enforcement" part, that's an interceptor in the IdP, it doesn't belong in the login flow.
