Ok, I just need to stop obsessing over it, create a cluster, stick it on a tree and see what it looks like in game.
I tried to watch that Hank Green video about what NASA didn't know, but there were so much waffling going on that I only got six minutes in without finding out what they didn't know, the editorial promise of the video, before giving up.
I am all for the style where you immediately fulfill it, especially if it is a question, because the straight answer is most of the time not the interesting bit anyway, but *why* that is the answer.

Guess I will just use well oiled birch plywood for aquarelle/gouache boards. Had hoped that I could find a less expensive option that is not painted MDF.

First pass at normals with low frequency (general undulation), mid frequency (lamina islands) and high frequency (lamina grain) details, with glossiness cranked to max to make it easier see the result. Next, mask off layers and make things sharper.

I found 9 mm poplar plywood in 830x600 mm sheets that I can cut into variously sized drawing boards and treat with linseed oil, looking like the most economic option.

Spent the day cutting the poplar plywood in quarters, cursing at not being able to cut straight despite clamping a guide to it and wishing I had a table saw. Took a break to relax and watch a painting video and saw a painter using some kind of bamboo board and realised I could just have used APTITLIG cutting board from IKEA all along.

It start to look like an actual leaf and not just like a very stylized one, albeit a very clean one. Next up is damage and possible seasonal variations, then doing clusters and putting them on game ready trees.
