I suggest that Black try for a wall here,

https\://www.hexwiki.net/index.php/Wall

since a long-enough one (if Black reaches C3, that's _certainly_ enough, and less is probably sufficient) would give Black's big group an alternative connection to the 11-edge, thereby greatly reducing the F7 issue.

(though not quite eliminating it, since if White gets G10 then whiteD10 might let whiteF7 work)]))
(;B[i8]C[Eric\: I think Black should play a joseki here.

Or maybe D8 instead.]))
