BTW, Voldemort is described by Dumbledore at several points in the
story as being one of the most magically gifted and talented wizard

achieve immortality? Seems safer and less "destructive" than ripping
your soul into Horcruxes.

Far easier to destroy the Stone than a Horcrux. The Stone would need
to be hidden but easily accessed for continued use. A Horcrux can be
left alone for decades.

Yes good point. Also the point Rubeus makes.
