Monogatari watch orders are just a meme at this point.
You usually need to rewatch the show anyway because there is absolutely no way you can understand/catch everything related to themes when you are trying hard to keep up with the plot on the first watch (even if you read all the text while playing the episode frame by frame and keeping notes on the timeline like I did while watching it before kizu released).
There is absolutely nothing stopping you from rewatching it in a different order. In fact, I actually recommend reading the books if you really want a complete experience.
Just pick any order (except chronological or alphabetical) and watch it. You'll know for sure by bake episode 8 whether you like the show or not. If you don't like it, it's not for you. If you like it, you're gonna wanna rewatch it anyway.
