A kosher succah is a kosher succah…..

According to the Rishonim’s understanding of the Rabbeinu Tam (many Achronim try to differentiate between the R”T’s cases and Sukkah), it would not be a Kosher Sukkah.

is their an inyan of going back to through the construction process to determine who held the hammer and nailed which board, who might have steadied the ladder for the one holding the hammer and who threw the schach on to the roof over the boards which were hammered by someone for whom someone else held the ladder?

You didn’t have to ‘concur’ with the post, but if you did, how could it not be imperative to ensure the Kashrus of your Sukkah?

Not to be too technical

Torah is very technical. Halachah is very technical. Those who refuse to be technical cannot keep Hilchos Shabbos. Avoidas Hashem is full of details and intricacies.

but if there are ways to squeeze the joy out of hidur mitzvah, some will recognize no extremes to find that opportunity….

Do you really think that depriving a woman the option of building a Sukkah is “squeezing the joy out of Hiddur mitzvah”? And – if that is what you meant – do you honestly think that the reason why a woman would feel deprived is because she doesn’t have the opportunity to perform a hechsher mitzvah, or because it highlights the distinction between Man and Woman in Torah?
