I like it mostly, but I think that the capstone is way to costly to be worth it.
If you die, you can come back one minute later at 1 hp by sacrificing 3d6 levels worth of spells, nearly permanently? At that level, someone in the party should be able to cast raise dead, costing around 500 gp per cast. You however, will loose on average 12 levels of spells, costing you 300 gp worth of ink to replace and a casting of wish, which does trigger the 33% chance of never casting it again. So I'd say you have an average of 3 castings of Wish before you run out for yourself, then you have to rely on finding an npc powerful enough to cast it and who would agree to cast it for you, risking losing it themselves as well.
If I were to use it, I think taking away the wish requirement and saying 'this only works if you have a spell slot of 6th level or higher, the highest of which is expended when you use this effect'. Still costly in the moment, and you still have to go and find those spells and re-scribe them, but having to cast wish is much to costly to me.
The spells magically appear back in the book. Where does wish come in?
The post you quoted (May 2020) is from before Tasha's was released (November 2020) -- meaning it's based on the UA which had the spells being permanently lost unless Wish was used to restore one lost spell each cast.
