If practice time is limited, one strategy I have found useful is to indeed continue using Baermann as a source of "Basic Vocabulary", but _not_ try to go through all keys on a given day. E.g. you could cycle through Steve Lacy's "Magic Order" of kyes (Bb-E-C-F#-D-Ab-B-F-Db-G-Eb-A) one key a day, with something like
(a) Long Tones on the root note -- as long as possible in mp, then "first type" as described above, all octaves.
(b) Core articulation à la Reiner Wehle on the major scale (||: daaaaaaaaa-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-:|| (step up) daaaaaa...)
(c) Scales (major and harmonic minor), articulated and legato, p and f
(d) Triads (major and minor), dito
all with a metronome set at a very moderate speed and carefully listening to yourself. This would give you a relatively short "workout" routine that covers basics, gets you through all keys within two weeks and still leaves you a good part of your 45' to practice other material.
