The more prominent and the closer the foreground, the more difficult I guess. So one should have a feeling (play around at home) where approximately the nodal point is with the lens of choice.

23 mm seems a good fl.

AFAIK a polarization filter is not recommended since the sky will become unevenly dark, depending on the angle to the sun.

That normally shouldn't be a problem with the 23mm and a circular polarisers. In my experience, it's much wider FOVs where the polarisation loses its evenness, making transitions more obvious in a stitch.
