@SlowOctober fretboard taper is relative to string spacing at the bridge and nut... This could have been done much easier by making a fretboard taper template and pre-sizing the fretboard with the proper taper before it was glued in place instead of how it was done...
I would have put the piece of metal stock just like you did, but elevated it on the end you wanted to stay the same thickness, then run the router with a slightly bigger bearing. That would have fixed over half of the neck, and scraping would have fixed the rest.
Bravissimo ottimo lavoro !!!!!!!

Couldn't you just have have fixed the fretboard on the neck and let it be as it is on the body?

Awesome series of vids! Guitar looks sweet.
Maybe a shoulder plane woulda been perfect for excess fingerboard over the top? Your way worked just as well tho. Nice work!
