Are all monotonically normal manifolds of dimension at least two metrizable?
Dow and Tall's result doesn't use a supercompact. The supercompact was used in Nyikos' earlier result.

Self-contained formalization of random variables?
Then it should be possible to describe your universe of random variables via one giant Ord-length directed system, where at stage $\alpha$ we add in all random variables of set rank $\le \alpha$ of all possible dependencies on previously constructed random variables. I doubt this will satisfy your intuition any more than my first comment did, but I really don't think any successful approach to your question will differ significantly from what I've described.

Self-contained formalization of random variables?
In your vaguely conceived theory of random variables, how do you propose we avoid the following Russell-like paradox: for any class of random variables $V,$ we can define a fair coin flip independent from each variable $A \in V.$ My point is, it's not clear we can even develop a theory of arbitrary coin flips, let alone arbitrary random variables.

For your example, can't you represent $f$ through an Ord-length directed system of approximations, i.e. $\langle (f \restriction \alpha, \Omega_{\alpha}), \alpha \in \text{Ord} \rangle?$

@Gerry As David says, it's Singular Cardinals Hypothesis.

Continuous functions taking uncountably many values countably often
A locally recurrent function might take every value in its range an uncountable number of times (e.g., if you compose an arbitrary locally recurrent function with the projection of some space-filling curve). So this doesn't necessarily meet the requirements of the question.
