Are there any?
Do we know if it’s safe to eat like this long term?
Is ketosis really intended long term (as opposed to being a survival mechanism/starvation response)?

No there’s really nothing worth bothering with long term. Closest we got was the PURE study, but it was such bad science that it shouldn’t be relied on. Epidemiological studies in general suck.
Finding ANY decent diet studies is a lesson in futility right now. Big food pays for most of them, and pays for a specific result.

I don’t know if this helps - and I don’t know where you’re from so maybe this isn’t relevant - but here’s one way to think of it: we know that it’s not safe to eat SAD long term, so beyond that we’re kind of on our own with researching the options, common sense, and personal experimentation.
I don’t think that there are any non-correlation nutritional studies on any way of eating that go beyond a few months. True nutritional studies are insanely expensive and almost impossible to do well since it’s so hard to control for every possible variable.
