I know I should post this in the hard surface section but there’s more people on here so here we go.
In a pinch is it OK to use a brush pro 17 to scrub out hardwood floor with basic coatings IFT, It’s really dirty!
Then rinse and extract with gecko brush head and temp turn down and pressure 300psi using basic coatings squeaky.

TIA

You certainly can assuming there's no issues with water intrusion and potential swelling or water staining.

If all the joints are nice and tight and the original coating is all sound, then go to town

Work in 100 to 200 ft areas at a time to play it safe

That’s exactly the plan and I use dri pods to immediately dry and I actually do it in 50 square-foot increments
Wood floor cleaning’s fairly new to me about six months typically use the Oreck orbiter but on real dirty wood floors or acrylic wax removal it just doesn’t do the job and I was able to rent the brush pro.
At some point I think I’ll step up to the Karcher

Residential work I think your system is a lot more controllable and quicker than running a mini walk behind machine that doesn't get to the edges or under cabinetry and or around furniture.

Obviously I prefer a 12-in carpet wand with my brush light on it to rinse with.

Many if not most would and would look alike floors can be prepped with just a flat mop and a pole brush, and then rinsed with the wand with his little as a shower feed if you use your ball valve to control the pressure.

IFT is a perfect cleaner for filthy wood floors (as well as LVT / LVP). And then follow up with Squeaky. Keeping your moisture level under control is paramount for wood too, but it looks like you have that well in hand. Nice photos by the way! We started selling a few of the Basic Coatings items. Our customers love their wood care products! https://excellent-supply.com/collections/basic-coatings
