This is a technical climb, not a hard walk
Roped glacier travel, crampons and an ice axe you can actually use. If you have not been taught crevasse rescue, you are relying entirely on somebody who has.
Check what your insurance excludes
Most travel policies stop covering you above a stated altitude or exclude mountaineering by name. A helicopter off a Himalayan peak is the traveller's bill, and it is a large one.
The summit is optional and the weather decides
Turnaround times exist to be obeyed, and a team that has paid a great deal of money is exactly the team most likely to ignore one. Agree the turnaround before the summit night, not on it.
Acclimatise on the schedule you were given
At these heights the difference between the published rotation and a faster one is not toughness, it is pulmonary oedema.
