And then you wonder when the wire is heating up.. You will get
heating with not enough conducting wiring!

It is not. You take a bunch of small wires and twist them to a single
lizt like condunctor. Then you have only one object to deal with.
Wire as with single wire.

Type of wire does not depend on the driver circuit topology.

Calculate the flux density you think it will take. Too much flux will
lead into core heating and way too much will saturate it.

Corona? Insulator breakdown? Transformer core halfes not well held
togeather? Instabilities in the driver stage?
I experienced all of the above mentioned problems in my early days.
They all made funny noises. The wors was an instable phase-locked
loop attempt.
