Update: I wasn't able to fiddle with it for a few days but after getting back to it have something I like.
My current settings are based on the feedback in this thread and:
z-offset made the single biggest difference. I reset the printer config and re-leveled.

I printed a tower a few days ago and it looks good anywhere from 200 to 215. I'm going to keep trying though.
z offset / nozzle height seems to be the thing. I've raised it up and it looks better. After that I played with the temp a bit and it seems to be happier around 210-215 though there is more stringing.
So far, all attempts at ironing have been a disaster, both zig zag and concentric. I'm going to continue dialing in the z offset and temp before ironing.
Weird. I couldn't post the original pic but a screenshot of it seems to work.
The spool doesn't say "silk" but the sticker does say print temp 215-230: https://www.amazon.com/Inland-1-75mm-White-Printer-Filament/dp/B084RDMG7C/ I'll give that a shot & see if it looks any better.
This is layer 2 or 3. It will be covered by the next few layers but I feel like it shouldn't be this fugly. I'm using Cura's Standard Quality except for temp which is set to 205. The filament is Inland PLA.
I have heard that when cars were a rare thing in the Old West that drivers had to stop at intersections, get out, and fire a gun to warn any horse-powered cross traffic. It sounds like total bs but there have been stranger laws...
