Yes mAyA is triguNAtmikA and is ontologically sadasadvilaxaNa (mithyA)

There is no disagreement with the statement "avidyA is not Brahman. avidyA
is not pAramArthikA".

Incidentally, you had suggested that avidyA has its basis (i.e., Ashraya)
in mAyA. But still you hold that mAyA is bhAva while avidyA is abhAva. In
the viShasamyuktam annaM (rice mixed with poison) for avidyA samyuktam
avyaktaM example of bhAShya, I don't think viSham (poison) is an abhAva
entity!
