This Atlas Technology was designed for transferring aura from 1 host to another No, it was designed explicitly to transfer a soul (specifically a maiden soul) from one person to another, as was demonstrated in Volume 3.

There is ONE being such technology would work for, Ozma, and these Atlesian scientists weren't designing it for him or aware it could be an issue. I assume the technology would be applicable to maidens as well, considering the way their souls are transferred (and then merged with the new host) are basically indistinguishable from the way Ozma reincarnates.

So they could have studied a maiden to create the technology, not just Ozma. And even if Ozpin were the only test subject they could study to create such technology, you don't know that they didn't do that anyway.

3. Technology exists because.... It's only observed... That's not to say that research and development hasn't been happening in Atlas for decades before that. And I have to point out, that same technology appeared ever so conveniently right before Beacon fell, as well.

4. I was saying he has more odds of dying V Salem, without Oz, Oscar would be dead meat in any encounter, with Oz, he's still likely dead, but he could buy time for the protags escape. Salem is coming, that we know, there is no indication of separation before that. No, you said specifically, and I quote:

I expect Oz will die permanently somehow, unfortunately for Oscar, Salem thinks he is Oz, so regardless, she will target Oscar. Which implies that Oz dies before being confronted by Salem, not versus Salem. 1-3. Watch V3 again, Jimmy was brought in for his existing tech, before he knew about Maidens but while a synthetic person(Penny) was in development the Technology is a deathbed technology for preserving lives and keeping humans off the battlefield, not for Maidens, it just happened to be applicable.

4. That was a conditional circumstance I didn't feel needed explaining at the time, IF something unfortunate or unexpected happens, then this is what I expect will happen, I have no idea WHEN Oz will die, nor did I intend to infer such a timeline, because the timing is conditional on EXACTLY where M&K want to go, If they want Salem to "win" and Atlas will fall or if they want Oz to stop Salem along with RWBY.

Even if Ozpin is there he will be the only thing that can draw her away from killing everyone or getting the Maiden, at which point he is dead along with Oscar, if he was somehow able to separate from Oscar beforehand and Salem finds Oscar her last intel says Oscar is Oz so Oscar is dead, unless Oscar separates from the heroes they should be encountering her this volume or the next, so he WILL see her, that is all I was insinuating, there are other numerous scenarios I feel are far too numerous to go into but ultimately I feel RWBY will stop Salem in Oz's place because Oz can't, and the only way I see that happening is if either he reincarnates helplessly or she finds a way to kill him he can't come back from, like Fred from Angel.
