Once again: chemistry is fully conservative.
We must always preface these remarks with that. Valence electron
manipulation can provide no long term gain via reversible
chemistry… but … catch-22, a hybrid process can provide gain at the
expense of the zero point field IF (big if) you provide any way
(even an inadvertent way) to replenish the local zero point field
via a non-chemical process.
I don't think you need to "replenish" the zero point field. The zero
point field is for all practical purposes infinitely energy dense,
but only large in effect at nuclear size or less. The zero point
field does actually play a measurable (chemical) role in hydrogen in
metals, by affecting tunneling rates, but only at near zero kelvin
temperatures.
Redundant ground states may be one of the non-chemical ways to do
it – and others ways, which involve the nucleus or quark
manipulation - are definitely in that category.
Is there an echo in here?

Jones, it's good to hear someone talk that way! Did you finally
read my paper? As applied to heavy element LENR, the above is an
important aspect of my deflation fusion theory, that some of the
enthalpy that results, especially from weak force reactions, which
immediately follow the strong force reactions, is from the zero point
field. The pre-fusion state, the deflated state, is not just
redundant, but a degenerate state, one having the same sum of kinetic
plus potential energy as the hydrogen in its normal environment.
