Spoiler:  Before I got ninjaed (click to show/hide)
Well, I just got ninja-ed. Probably means that I won't be able to join unless there's a way I can get a copy of 3.5 edition rules.

It's all on an online SRD. I'm on my mobile, so I can't link it, but Google DND 3.5 SRD and it should show up.

This is the 3.5 SRD. It mostly only has core rules and some things from a few other books (according to the site it's all sourcebooks published by Wizards of the Coast that contain open content). This is the OGL Wiki, which contains quite a lot of open game content for 3.5 (plus a few other d20 games like Pathfinder and Modern). It contains 3rd party open content, which the SRD does not.

Speaking of Pathfinder, have you ever tried running a game of that, Tawarochir?

I had an idea for a were- character I wanted to try, but then all games were 5e, so I didn't get the chance.

So I'm tempted.

I'm vaguely familiar with the Pathfinder rule changes, and I've actually made a couple characters from some of the more interesting classes from the game, but I think I'll stick with 3.5 for the time being.
-snip-
3.5 is pretty fun, if not quite as balanced as 5e, and as MNII and Kadzar mentioned there's an SRD with most of the stuff you need on it. I have the physical core books aside from the Monster Manual, so I can help you with the stuff like leveling up the SRD doesn't cover. I had quite a bit of fun figuring out how to play using just the SRD, myself.

Your character concept and a fair amount of the crunch you have there should be able to be adapted to 3.5, as well.

Sounds fun. I'm using the tier-based free LA houserule, as well.

How heavily can we optimize?

There's a lot of power disparity in the game. Fighters and monks, to put it mildly, suck. Wizards can singlehandedly do everything before they're half max level. Lots of houserules have been come up with to get around this, from blanket bans on the strong stuff to stuff like giving lower-tier characters "gestalt" abilities where they get to advance in two classes at once. I'm partial to the "Level Adjustment by Tier" rule, where lower-powered characters get to add extra stuff to their characters, like templates and more powerful races like drow and stuff.

Personally, I prefer having a gentleman's agreement with anybody who wants to play stuff like Druids or Wizards, since they're the only one who has fun turning into a bear that shoots bears that spit fire and fart lightning or use the Locate City bomb to eliminate everything in a seventy-mile radius. Some people run high-powered games where the free LA starts coming from everywhere below Tier 1, but I'm more of a Tier 3-baseline kind of guy and intend to start supplying it to Tier 4 (default rangers/rogues/paladins) and under.

I'd prefer you not go into full-on munchkin mode, but I don't mind the sort of splatbook-laden min-maxing that internet class guides generally advocate. To an extent, that is.

You don't have to worry about min-maxing or anything from me, I've never played 3.5 and therefore don't know any of the overpowered combinations.
