A Kaid rendition of the original Dragon Ball will probably be 80-100 episodes.

Goku didn't die in GT. The show sucked him off so much, it was impossible to keep him in the world of the living, so he ascended beyond mortality.

I always side eye the people who say "Now my kids/today's kids can experience what I did as a child!" Nigga, who gives a fuck about your childhood? You're an adult now and it was at least 15 years ago. Let the kids have their own experience instead of picking at a corpse.

With the way Toei was editing mid and late Dragon Ball Kai? Yeah, probably.

Ideally, a second adaption with nee animation would be covering four chapters and episode so I would think at most 50-52 episodes, ideally less.

This is where it gets tricky because of arcs and bullshit. Boku no Hero Academia doesn't mind ending seasons with the beginning of a story arc, though, so I could see Gokuu's death against Raditz being the Season 2 cliffhanger.
12 episodes for red ribbon army?? I thinks that couldn't cover all, that would need to have a pace of 6 chapters per episode or more. Boku No Hero has rushed a lot the last arc (MVA) and it has been 4 chapters per episode, imagine 6.

Material can be skipped or simplified. Not to mention six chapters per episode is only ninety pages for Dragon Ball.
