I'm currently at SMEN 16 and have a calling card. Should I go to the Winking Isle and grind up SMEN there, or keep working on it in London? My main concern is that going to the Isle will require me to dump a bunch of resources including two elemental secrets, which will be useful for making candles.

You need SMEN 21 in order to gain SMEN on the isle, but you will need to go there eventually.

Destin requires SMEN 35 for the Notability method, so you can't get there without visiting the island.

I'd definitely get Arthur before you go to winking isle. Gaining SMEN and getting Arthur both unlock at SMEN 21, so there's no point in putting it off.
I personally haven't been there yet, but what I plan on doing is getting Arthur, selling enough to get just the initial preparations over with, then meditate to get up to SMEN 29, at which point I'll return and manufacture a new calling card.
As far as Beau and Cerise go, it doesn't look like you actually have to sell the materials needed for getting them to go through the preparations. I didn't see memories of light, moon pearls, or a classic short story (what I'm using for Cerise's) listed as something I can't have. I can even hang on to my searing enigmas, since I don't plan on going to the sun beneath the sea, at least not on this trip.

McGunn/Bsymstad is on the slow boat, waiting to see if he can find out what death is. (I'm done with London for now. Thanks for everything!)

You could also get Destin's at Hallowmas this year via a social action. Iirc it required that the sender have all seven confessions, Cerise, no Destin, and SMEN 35(?). The recipient needed only SMEN 3 and no Destin. This could of course be different next Hallowmas.
