I believe in the God who can and will save everyone.
My belief is grounded in a literal reading of St. Paul:
"Just as one man's trespass led to condemnation for all,
so one man's act of righteousness leads to justification and life for all"
(Romans 5:18).

Until the Last One's Found:  A Conversation on Universalism

"Why did God allow them to be lost even for a little while?"
Maybe because they asked God for the opportunity to be lost for a little while, and God decided to grant that request that _they_ wanted.

"Why did God not restore all things in an instant?"
Maybe because during the time that things aren't restored, humans learn things and do things that they would otherwise never have had the opportunity to learn and do.

"Because all things are not restored right now would we call God unsuccessful in this moment?"
God sees things as they will be.
Somebody could call God currently-unsuccesful, but that person isn't looking at the final outcome.

"Paul: Widely credited as the primary figure who articulated that Jesus died 'for our sins' to fulfill scripture, often described as a substitutionary sacrifice"
"Described" accurately "as a substitutionary sacrifice"?

This was a fascinating and very insightful book:

Andrew Xian Nyhärt, _The God Who Never Flinched: Reclaiming the Cross as Covenant, Not Appeasement_ (2025), 202pp., on 59
amazon.com/God-Who-Never-Flinched-Appeasement/dp/B0FGP39D8H/
Across nearly every era of Christian history, brilliant minds have wrestled with the mystery of the cross.
Each generation reached for the categories it knew best-- legal, political, philosophical, or anthropological-- and from these materials constructed what we now call atonement theories.
These models have sought to explain how the cross works: what it accomplishes, what problem it solves, what exchange takes place in the economy of salvation.
Yet nearly all of them, for all their sophistication and influence, share a devastating blind spot:
they do not speak of covenant.
...these theories... reflect the cultural assumptions of their times more than the covenantal patterns of the Bible.
