That's probably what I should be doing. As you say, it keeps the logs
clean and the riff-raff at bay.

That's the ticket, yes. I'll get me one of those USB-powered drives
and build an installation on it.

That's a chance I'd prefer not to take. It's easy enough to make
another piece of boot media as you suggest.
So, do I start with the running installation and run something to
create the new media, or boot from the distro itself and create the
new system on the target USB device? I'd rather the former, as now
that I have everything running correct, I probably answered some basic
configuration questions wrong and corrected them later, so I'd prefer
not to have to go through that mess again unless it's really
necessary.
