Update: I got it working. After reinstalling all mods, I merged all of the texture mods together (ModCiriLoreFriendlyFull, modGeraltChestHair, modGeraltHWwhiteBeard, modGerskinHoS, modGerSkinNoHair, modHDReworkedProject, modNoDirtyLensEffect, modNoScreenWaterDrops, modOrnamentedKnife, modToxicityCleanFaceAndScreen, and modWitchereye), not just the 8 mentioned in that section of the STEP guide. I can now set TextureMemoryBudget to 4000 and play the game smoothly. Setting it to 4096 still gives me missing textures.

I'm now having the same problem as Lordx1: after following the guide, I have practically no textures in-game and the game often does not start at all (except to run as a useless background process consuming resources). I should note that "Vanilla Lighting Enhanced" is no longer available from Mishikedman, so I installed his newer "Wiedzmin Lighting Mod" instead. There was potential for a conflict between this and "Skellige Ice Breath," so I uninstalled the latter and was able to start the game, but still had the texture issue. I tried lowering my texture memory budget to 4000 (as I have 8GB VRAM on my GTX1070), but this somehow reintroduced the problem with the game not starting.
