step 6: create 24 word seed in iancoleman and use the private key created in step5 as passphrase.

This isn't just unnecessary, but it'll makes the point of seed phrases meaningless. Why would you add a passphrase you cannot remember in another thing you cannot remember, and that's why you've written down instead, when it provides you no more essential security?

There's not even a reason to use bitaddress.org above iancoleman. Just generate twelve words and write them down. It is also not recommended to generate random numbers from javascript. Read Concern about RNG.
