If you are buying Y - are you earning only half qualifying miles everytime you fly, or are you overpaying for "flex" to sit in Y anyway?
Have you looked at outside AC - where its a lot easier and cheaper to earn/maintain status, and you get some sort of nicer economy seats on your longhauls (free exit rows, etc)

If by cancel you mean actually offloading yourself by selecting and confirming "No longer traveling", you also keep whatever seat you last selected.
I am assuming you mean selecting "No longer travelling" to offload yourself. Nevertheless, yes, you can start the OLCI process over and over and make check-in related changes inside the process. I have done this countless times without issues (but not dozens of times for the same flight) for various reasons including changing my seat, offloading myself, re-read the LMU offer (if it appears again as it sometimes does not), etc.
(but, IANAE)

Changing return flight due to Travel Advisory at outlying station 20 hrs before the flight.
Told “Check in so I can give you your boarding pass".
Having previously always found https://mci.aircanada.com/mci/start quicker than the android app, entered my departure city and aeroplan number and submitted. Instantaneously heard a "ding" on the AC computer and my boarding pass began printing. This happened before my cell showed the MCI site display.
It appears no action is needed to check in other than accessing the MCI site.

Yes, as soon as you get to that screen, you're checked in. The HTTP response doesn't actually need to make it to your device for this to happen - the request just needs to be processed.
