My bet is on the Church that doesn’t hold divine simplicity a holdover from neoPlatonism.

oh, so you argue that God, the Father, has eyes, nose, and ears in His Personhood?

There cannot be a reunion when the fundamental understanding of God is different.

false dichotomy; a creature cannot know the Creator, or even conceive of Him (no, not even the Angels can!)
divine simplicity isn't about knowing the Creator, it's about defining how beyond our capability the Father is

God cannot be completely unknowable yet personal. That just makes God an intellectual construct like in neoPlatonism. Totally impersonal, which is the opposite of what the Gospel says. We cannot know His essence only His energies. But His energies are still part of him.
You can have a relationship with God without being able to comprehend his core essence. We know God through His energies He sends out into the world.

Of course He can, we know Him through Christ, the Son.
nooooo, this is why Christ is called Logos.
You should consider this whole Trinity thing must more.

If divine simplicity is true then the father is the same as the son, the son is the same as the Holy Spirit, and the Holy Spirit is the same as the father.
Below chart shows the proper theological understanding of Trinity.
It is impossible to love that which you cannot know at all. We therefore love God through our knowledge of his energies.
