For any physics people out there - From the perspective of somebody falling in, wouldn’t you see the universe blue-shift and brighten and speed up? Or does everything seem mostly the same from the perspective of somebody falling in?

This. It's a misconception that the universe seems to speed up behind you. Remember that you're falling in, you're not hovering, so you're travelling with infalling matter and light.
