Thanks for posting in the Microsoft Fabric Community.
Your approach works well when there is no modified date to use for incremental refresh. The filters you mentioned for separating historical and recent data are a good way to avoid duplicates, and the union view in the warehouse can combine them.

Thanks for sharing here as this helps others in the community, and please reach out for any further assistance.
