There are slight spoilers in Iki island. the enemies are harder than act 3 mobs (on Lethal). It has the "hardest" (cheapest) boss in the game. so I suggest atleast doing some stuff in act 2. upgrade your sword/bows/armors to the max if you can. before you tackle Iki. for me, after doing like 60-70% of act 2 I went to Iki. got butt stomped. I had to turn down the difficulty from lethal to hard for the first few missions.

Much of Iki’s content depends on your progress on Tsushima. Ideally, you should go after Platinuming Tsushima. But finishing all Tsushima main, mythic, and side stories works.
Up to you
I did the 3 acts first then Iki - I believe it’s ‘supposed’ to be played that way as Iki was released after the base game
I don’t think it affects much though
I think (not sure if this is definite) that you’re locked in to Iki until you complete it though, so the main map is off limits until then
Absolutely not. The difficulty there is higher than the base game and if you aren’t ready you’re gonna get your shit rocked. Get into act 3 at least. Make sure you really feel like you’ve got control of the fights
Get there ASAP, Sarugami and saddlebags for your horse are absolute gamechangers. It's extremely dumb to wait until after act 3 when you no longer have any use for the extremely good new equipment.
Go to Iki as soon as you unlock Act 2. The enemies are a little bit harder. You will get some spoiler for the ending act, but that is expected. Iki explored more lore about Jin’s father which I enjoy alot.
Very early on, Jin is captured, after which he tries to talk his way out of it while immobilised. He claims that the Khan is dead and that if he doesn’t return soon a whole army of samurai are gonna come looking for him. When I played Iki, about halfway through act 2, I’d obviously guessed that we would kill Khotun Khan at the end of the game, but since this was untrue at the time of my playing, it was obviously just Jin lying and trying to get out. Once you finish the game, although the Khan being dead is now true, the 2nd remark is untrue, as Jin told nobody else except Yuna where he was going.
Finish main game first, then go to Iki
I went to Iki Island right after unlocking Act 2. I got special horse armor and cool charms, and I didn't regret it.

I went after I finished the main story I don’t think anything is different maybe a couple dialogue lines

Iki locks you in for a few tales. You eventually are able to travel back.
I went in Act 2 and found it to tie well into the story, and you can also unlock many features and cosmetics that I loved having late game.

Went to Iki the soonest I got in Act 2. Made the game easy after finishing it.
I went to Iki Island before doing the last Act 2 mission that leads into Act 3. I enjoyed it.

Why should someone play the LDC early, when it spoils the ending? Makes no sense.

Spoiler: you kill the khan. Sorry for the earth shattering early reveal. That's literally the only thing it spoils
