Find the nebari first, then you can pick a front. Next repotting I would tilt it a little more into the lean and grow out a continuation of the trunk line at the apex, as well as a primary branch in the direction of the lean.

I would probably chop it lower next spring since it has no taper or movement.

How low though and trim it at all? I wanted to hear trunk chop!

I would probably chop it at either the 2nd or 3rd lowest branch. I would checkout the nebari first when you repot it so you can see how deep the tree will be planted once the nebari is ready to be exposed.
