Great read and I wonder how long they can sustain this. I love how every club boasts about scouting players but what about scouting managers and staff?

I think as long as they want to, or before they become powerful enough to be on the equal footing with Bayern and be seen as top, elite European clubs like the others, then they don't need to worry about selling players for profit in order to keep building. By then they will change their business model.
I'd guess that will take a while, at least 5 years.

What do you expect? Young players with no experience, and a bunch of loanees can only get you so far. Dortmund, Tottenham, these are nice teams that rarely win titles. Good for them they give Bayern a run for their money this year in BuLi.
This is the worst Bayern in what, a decade?
Also, Dortmund had a 7 points lead a few months ago?
No, this is a bottle-job, they will almost never get a opportunity like this again.

9 points. BVB bottled a 9-point lead.

Or they overachieved going 9 points ahead by scoring a lot of late goals in close games. And once that started to die down they came back to their usual level.
They're comfortably 2nd best in that league.

BVB are historically title contender, not a Spurs type of team at all. Closer to Atletico in Spain, may be even better (has CL title at least)

We're not talking about history here. We're talking about the level of the team. Dortmund are Spurs level at best. Not even that good, since we saw Tottenham outclass them in CL.

Hazard, Brandt, and Schulz all officially in at BVB. Probably need a striker and a CB to finish out the summer spending.

I think there is some serious Stockholm Syndrome going on between Dortmund and Bayern. Why would they take Mats back?? Götszche too. It's like verifying that going to Bayern to collect trophies is fine, you can always come back if you become too shit to play for them. It is so weird to me.
If they really had some balls they would save his big fee and massive wages and overpay for the next German CB-talent to get him to join them instead of Bayern, imo. That would be a better path to a future where they compete with Bayern, than this one, in my opinion at least.

Interestingly they appear to be selling Abdou Diallo to PSG for around 32+2 Million Euros, not to much of a profit considering they bought him for around 28 Million euros.
He was considered a really good talent himself but it seems Dortmund decided to sell him with Hummels coming back.
