Has anyone ever taken short-term disability for an arm injury (e.g., broken hand, torn rotator cuff, etc.)? I’m feeling guilty about it for some reason but don’t see how I can reasonably perform at the same efficiency level. Looking for tips or lessons learned on discussions with HR, leadership, mentor etc.

I haven't but have 2 colleagues who have recently taken LOA for mental health reasons. If you can't perform at the level you'd like to (and they expect), take the time to rest and get better, sans guilt! We have these benefits for a reason; no one should fault you for using them! Hope you recover fully and soon ☺️

Does this program also include self-study material, and the classes are just supplementary/optional? I was also looking at Dalton for self-study and Danko for test prep. Thoughts?

My criteria: mesh seat and back, arms, headrest

I tried cheap ones from Amazon. Expensive, second hand gaming chairs. Tried HM Aeron (second hand) and while I didn't like the bulk and the general design, I was sold on the mesh seating. I wanted to get the ErgoChair 2 from autonomous, but it doesn't have mesh seat.
