On rare occasions lunar eclipses can be seen with the sun simultaneously above the horizon which is impossible on sphere model

Can you give a source for that? I couldn’t find one myself.

constellations like the Southern Cross cannot

Again, source? I quickly found a website that directly contradicts that statement, so you’ll have to find something better than just some website that says the same words you just said without any “deeper” evidence.

simply stretching further outwards

“simply”, even though this would require light from the stars and sun and moon to bend in incredibly strange and inconsistent ways (that we don’t observe at all on the ground) in order to be visible at the times and locations we see in reality, at the angles we observe.

When Christ comes the stars will fall to the earth

When was that written? What was our understanding of the word “star”? If the point of that passage was to “paint a picture” of what the world would look like, “stars falling from the sky” could mean anything where a multitude of bright objects starts falling, like a meteor shower or a fleet of aircraft. If it’s that last explanation, why would God want to reveal to humanity that they’d invent flying machines? It might mess up His plan.

Many things shouldn't be visible with a curvature of 8 inches per mi^2

Visibility on a globe earth is trigonometric in nature, as opposed to linear, as a simple factor of some “inches per square mile” would imply. That is a misrepresentation of the globe model, the real equations involve trigonometric functions like sine, cosine, and tangent.

Joshua had God stop the sun and moon for 24 hours.

If you think God couldn’t do this in a “globe reality” then you underestimate His power.

When Christ returns the heavens will roll back and those on earth will look up and see God On His throne.

This could mean any number of things. This could take place at one specific location. It also could involve any kind of bending of space. This is describing a future event and we have no idea how it’ll happen and what this show of power will look like in the specifics.

Heaven is His throne and earth is His footstool.

God using a flat object as a footstool makes just as much sense as Him using a round one. This proves nothing.

Sun and moon were created after the earth and for the earth.

This is a past event none of us were around for. And this description does not contradict the globe model. The globe model describes the present to incredible accuracy.

When Christ returns every eye will see Him.

This can be done in a number of ways. You restrict your imagination to thinking that this means “everyone on earth will have a direct line of sight to one particular point”. God can accomplish this thing in any number of ways.

Either light bends to make some stars invisible at certain places and to make the sun and moon invisible at other times and appear at certain angles at certain places on a flat earth, or light in the sky moves in a straight line to let everyone see all of it at once. Pick one.

I do not understand what you are trying to prove with point 8.

Try again.

Edit: Your link doesn’t work, but I found where I think you wanted to direct me to. A lot of these “proofs” are based on misunderstandings of the globe model. I would write out why each of them are either wrong, nonsensical, or require more evidence, but there are youtube videos that do it better than I could in the time and space I have to write this comment. Professor Dave Explains has good videos with sound reasoning on the subject if you can wade through the condescension.
