I’m currently doing an upper/lower split 4 days out the week and I like it. Seems like I get a decent amount of lifts done.

i was also thinking about lifting in the mornings and doing incline walking/elliptical in the evenings.

Increase strength & fat loss. I’m going to Start lifting in the am and do low impact cardio/liss in the evenings after work.
If you can flip them and do the low impact in the AM fasted you can probably get a little better result. If it works the other way better for you to be consistent then do that. Good idea regardless of the arrangement.

My upper/lower is repeated 6 days a week and is based off the nSuns 531 LP. Workouts take anywhere from 2-3 hours.
The U/L you posted looks kinda wonky. Muscle groups are not balanced and there is an obvious lack of barbell compound movements which are critical for maximal strength development. (No squats, no rowing, no BB bench or OHP, and a huge emphasis on pull/chin-ups which most folks can't hit with good form for 8 sets).
PPL is probably overkill unless you're gonna live in the gym 6 days a week. Would not recommend to someone just starting up/back.
Full Body vs U/L is kinda moot; you'll most likely end up at the same place and neither is superior for hypertrophy goals. Strength gains might be better on FB for certain lifts depending on exercise selection.

Does 4x mean four working sets? Or warmups are included?

Try it both ways. If you have the time for two a days consistently, probably better to lift in the evening when your body is limber from a full day of movement, then do your cardio fasted. But this is all individual preference/response. I just know I lift better anywhere from 10am-6pm and feel better doing cardio on an empty stomach
I like push pull legs vs upper lower
today I started back on the “bro split”
shoulders
Legs
Chest and tri
Back and biceps
It’s been 3 or 4 years since I did this split. Ima try it until the end of the year at least

Push pull legs...
Either I’m buggin or I need to calm my ass down. Those ain’t enough exercises per day for me
Example push day
Real dealt flys(warm up for chest)/w machine chest fly
Incline Bench
Flat bench
Incline dumbbell
Dumbbell lateral raises/Dips
Cable cross overs/ wide grip upright row
Seated shoulder press/ Face pulls
Rope pull downs/ overhead rope pulls
Cable press down/ Dumbbell kickbacks
