I tried this deck out and pretty quickly realized two things.
Cultivator Colossus is not an elemental. I'd gotten it mixed up with Endurance in my head at some point and didn't think to check the card's subtypes until I was in an actual game. Oops. This makes me look pretty foolish, but is actually of almost no consequence in the long run. More on that in a moment.
I could and should run more lands here. 85% seemed too ambitious at first, but this actually plays a lot like my old Fluctuator deck. Each land in my hand can keep the chain going with Cultivator Colossus even if I topdeck a non-land. So really I should make the non-land parts of the engine as compact as possible, because this deck has the potential to be way more consistent than I initially assumed.
As for my blunder with the subtypes on Cultivator Colossus, Thicket Elemental exists and lets the combo work for the same amount of mana. Problem solved.
