Thanks for taking the time and effort to post that, but that's not a monk, that's a cluster of min-maxing. I don't let my players do that kind of thing as they just get too powerful.
You just disqualified yourself from any debate that has Dandu in it...
More seriously, that's a monk in a way a single-classed (capitalized) Monk could never hope to be. Namely, actually capable at what the class's idea was: exotic tricks, unarmed combat, unarmored survivability. If too powerful is your problem, play Dandu's suggestion side-by-side with a single classed Bob the Barbarian w/o fancy tricks and see whose character contributes more to the party reaching its goals. Hint: there's a fair chance the winner of that contest will start with a B.
You need to differentiate between a PC's mechanical side and their characterization. It's no crime to build a character's mechanics with half a dozen classes and use ten different sourcebooks - if that's the way you can translate your imagination of the character into a mechanical representation, great. Also, powerful characters are in no way equal to uninteresting characters. If you find you as a DM can't compete with min-maxing players, either step up your game or ask them to tone it down to keep the game fun. But don't make blanket statements such as "this is too powerful, period". "This is kind of unbalanced with regard to [pertinent fact XYZ]" is more like it.
