I’m having issues with Google takeout, it messes up the file names and thus the order of the photos.
Any tips?

I’ve read about this and I’m not in a position to research it rn, but this is a “feature” of takeout. There are scripts which will fix this and I BELIEVE immich can handle this format natively.

This worked pretty well for me, although constructing the cli command took a little elbow grease. This video and an LLM proved to be very helpful.
Here’s the commands I ended up using:
Testing Upload Process
Before performing the actual upload, test the process with this command:
immich-go.exe -server http://[server.ip:port} -key [put your apikey here w/o brackets} upload -dry-run -google-photos takout-*.zip
Actual Upload
Once testing is successful, perform the full upload:
immich-go.exe -server http://[server.ip:port} -key [put your apikey here w/o brackets} upload -google-photos takout-*.zip
Remove Duplicates
If you’ve previously uploaded photos before syncing your phone, remove duplicates with:
immich-go.exe -server http://[server.ip:port} -key [apikey} duplicate -yes
