The issue is that they think that they want to stop using the STUFF method (which is really the for XML PATH concatenation) for some reason but won't explain why on this or the other two forums I've see this OP on. I don't understand why they want to mess with something that already working especially since he didn't even know what STRING_AGG() was a week ago.
It would also be nice if he posted the materialized SQL after it's built as well as a sample from the output it creates.
Personally, I'm not touching it until we know why they want to stop using the current working method.

________Stop thinking about what you want to do to a ROW... think, instead, of what you want to do to a COLUMN.

and unlikely we will get any useful info of the OP - they just ask the question in multiple forums to see if they get any answer that may temporarily address their issue - but always ignoring request for better/complete info.
