In GLET, the speed of the Solar system relative to the preferred frame would
be the same and that in standard GR relative to the CMB frame, so I would
simply reuse standard observations and results.

Relative to the background, the velocity of light is not constant at all.

The computation in GR is based on the Doppler effect, and does not
have to rely on some ideas about constancy of speed of light.  Of course,
in the frame which is really at rest,  and under the assumption that in
the ether is, at least roughly, at rest in this frame too, it is natural that
the velocity of light does not depend on the direction too.

But the GR concept is much simpler.  You have the Doppler effect,
that means, frequencies change if relative velocity changes. And
you compute the velocity so that, taking into account that change of
the frequencies, the CMB radiation would have the same frequency
from all directions.

The other parts of your text make no sense to me, so I cannot
comment on them.
