Every optic is a compromise. Your goal of CQB speed, infinite eye relief, and zero magnification have significant tradeoffs, which will make it hard to be effective at long range. While you can definitely shoot targets at long range with irons or a red dot, it's going to be difficult without an effective reticle. For what you want, the reticle will be the biggest single factor that determines your effectiveness at range.
Agree on the EOTech. When you use it in a course of fire (not on your couch), the grainy image disappears. EOTech has my favorite RDS reticle, though my Holosun 507 is pretty close.
The Cyclops reticle's first line below the circle/chevron equates a 700 yard holdover on my Strelok app with a 200 yard zero. That's a lot of empty space between your 50/200 yard aimpoint and your 700 yard aiming point.
I think the better option would be an Eotech EXPS3-4 reticle. Here's what I see with a 200 yard zero with American Gunner from my 18" Grendel:

You can hate on EOTech all you want, but they're your best bet with the -4 reticle.
Honestly? I think you'd be better served with a 1-6x LPVO.

Also, you were (sorry Apple) using that EoTech wrong. You don't focus on the circle-dot, you focus on the target, and it clears right up. The grain when you focus on the reticle is an artifact of a true no-parallax, laser hologram, and is a non-issue when you're actually shooting at targets and focusing properly.
