An extra thought:  What sort of remote science couldn't be
accomplished from VL2?

As far as I can tell, VL2 is pretty much an efficient halo orbit of
station-keeping that's good for accommodating just about any form of
space related research, and/or of obtaining planetology and solar
science that's just short of walking on the deck of another planet or
otherwise avoiding any chance of getting nuked by way of a pesky solar
halo CME event.

Relatively small robotic airships as planetary probes should be worth
doing, as rather easily outfitted and deployed from VL2, remote flown
and data gathered as these small but very capable probes manage to do
their thing, as they migrate their way through those acidic clouds and
haze and end up drifting or perhaps navigating under their own power
within the highly buoyant atmosphere that's relatively calm and clear
below those thick clouds.
