Is it better to relentlessly pursue a single idea or have more each day and zero in on the ones that look like they can happen?

Always have more ideas. It’s okay to try to make something you’re in love with work. But don’t put all your focus there. Sometimes things just won’t work and there could be a better idea. A couple weeks ago, my partner and I were helping out working on a project (aka not managing) because we’re understaffed. We had a bunch of ideas and one we’d been noodling but couldn’t get there. We presented it anyways and the team helped us solve it. You have to do both. As a manager, I can maybe help you solve the ONE, and I will try, but you need to have other options.
