An average of 1.23 is slightly chubby, so tweak the Extrusion Multiplier: 0.9 * 1.2 / 1.23 = 0.88 and the next set should be dead on. You'll still see a variation around 1.2, but it ought to be symmetric.
all over the place from 1.68 to 1.80
The usual tolerance is +/- 0.05, so 1.75 mm will be Close Enough. If the objects start looking under- or over-stuffed, check the filament diameter first to make sure it's not running consistently thin or thick.
drop the nozzle onto the feeler gauge and tighten
Then print and measure a thinwall box in the middle of the platform to ensure the nozzle didn't have a teeny bit of cold plastic holding it slightly high. It's quick, it's easy, it prevents heartache & confusion.

tune top layer infill
Yup! Tweak one thing at a time, using the simplest possible object. Verifying a change in a few minutes with a consistent test object beats headbanging after an hours-long print goes pear-shaped due to a bad setting.
Onward into the learning curve ...
