Need advice/comments on best route to take

Hello everyone,

I'm a non-EEA person married to an EEA person and freaking out about Brexit.

Timeline and background:
Husband in the UK since 2007 as a student (no CSI), I'm in the UK continuously since 2009.
September 2012 - married, husband then a PhD student without CSI.
01.01.2013 to 30.09.2014 - husband works in the UK (employed full-time).
October 2013 - I receive EEA family residence permit (previously on Tier 2).
01.10.2014 to 31.04.2015 - husband works in France (set up as a self-employed consultant with taxes paid in the UK).
March 2014 - husband applies for permanent residence and is refused because of lack of CSI during studying.
01.05.2015 to 30.09.2015 - husband works in the UK (employed full-time).
01.10.2015 to 31.07.2016 - husband works in Germany (set up as self-sufficient in the UK with CSI and all).
01.08.2016 to now - husband works in the UK (employed full-time).

I'm employed full-time in the UK throughout this period but it seems my employment history doesn't matter. I currently have about a year left on my family residence permit and would like to change jobs so am curious about my options.

Questions:
1) when is the earliest either one of us can apply for permanent residence?
2) can I apply for permanent residence in September 2017 hoping HO won't notice he didn't have CSI as a student?
3) if 2 doesn't work should I apply for an extension of the family residence permit only? How long does this normally take?
4) can he apply in October 2017 on basis of 10 year long residence?
5) can we both apply in January 2018 and not get rejected? Will HO manage the different periods of his working life?

Thanks
