WGU is a very good option to have a balanced mix/match of certs, degree, experience. There are a few things to note, you should also create a spreadsheet of the requirements for reference and tracking purposes...BJ is correct, you will need to get your transcripts from the universities you previously attended. WGU specifically is a stickler when it comes to transcripts, and they need transcripts from everywhere you attended to admit you, even if you don’t put that university on your application or want those credits to transfer.
1) Transcripts, you're on the hook for these at most institutions, you're not 'starting' over. Many of the Regionally Accredited institutions that we recommend can and will look up your previous studies with the NSCH (National Student Clearing House) and will see you've studied at those institutions previously.
2) Ultimately, you're continuing with Sophia.org, Study.com and any other provider from their partners.wgu.edu , you'll be creating a spreadsheet of the requirements, comparing partners courses available for transfer and completing them from provider to provider, not by having multiple subscriptions at a time.
3) In addition to what you currently are looking for and what Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act provides, you can always add to that list of certs, degree, experience by completing more certs or Coursera, EdX, TEEX, Sophia.org classes that deal with Computers, Cybersecurity, IT, etc.
