Is this absurd?

So this is my first true AOR. Since January, I jumped on offers as they came out (Sapphire Preferred, Freedom, Ink Bold, Citi AA Visa/Amex, BofA Alaska), but now have waited 4 months since my last application and was looking at doing them all on one day. I'm not so much worried about the minimum spends, because they are mostly reasonable with my spending habits, and this will probably be my last AOR for a while since I'll probably be buying a house in a year or so. I've built up a lot of UR/AA/Delta points, so I think I'm good on miles for a bit, so I wanted to stock up on hotel points and possibly grab the SW companion pass as we've been doing a lot of domestic US travel lately.

My credit scores are anywhere from 777-817 (used to be solid 820 before credit apps earlier this year) and I have a 12 year credit history, no late payments or bad marks.

I was just wondering if anyone thinks I'm going to get denied on a lot of these, and even if I don't, is it really going to dent my credit score. Also, if I should drop some, any recommendations?

9 cards:
50k SW points personal ($1k in 3 months, $69) - Equifax
50k SW points business ($1k in 3 months, $69) – Equifax
30k SPG points ($5k in 6 months, $0) - Experian
75k point Amex Gold Business for $2k spend in 4 mo (targeted) - Experian
40k pts Barclay US Airways (first use, $0) - Transunion
50k VA -> 100k Hilton BofA ($2.5k in 3 months, $90 fee) –Could pull any one
35k Hawaiian Air Bof HI ($1k in 4 months) – Experian?
2x50k HHonors Pts Citi Hilton ($1k in 4 months) two browser trick – Experian (maybe Equifax)


Spend:
In 3 months: $6.5
In 4 months: $3k
In 6 months: $5k

Any input would be greatly appreciated. The info on FT was invaluable in putting this together, so I figured it'd be worth throwing it out there to see if people had any guidance.
