Setting up a batch

Trying to use some rules of thumb to get a desired sweetness and have a few ideas/questions.

Idea 5 gal (19L) batch of lemon strawberry aiming for slightly sweet. Close to a Moscato level.

Using 17g sugar in 1L water = 1% abv

Making 19L with a 16% tolerant yeast (RS Premier Blanc)

17x 16x 19 = 5,168g sugar needed

20LB (9,080g) lemons at 2.5% sugar = 227g sugar

5LB (2,270g) strawberries at 4.9% sugar = 111g sugar

That would be 338g of sugar from fruit assuming all sugars fermented. Leaving 4,830g (10.63LB) of white sugar needed.

Iโ€™m assuming this would end up fairly dry as most of the sugar would convert.

Should I just use 5,168g (11.4LB) sugar and let the fruit sugars sweeten it a bit?

I have plenty of time on my side to let it sit and cook and I store it in my laundry room so temp should be good and consistent just donโ€™t want it super dry or sickly sweet.

TIA for amy advice, tips, tricks.
