Extending paver steps (hexbear.net)

We have these 2 paver steps that are awkwardly tall. I'd like to add 2 steps to this by adding another layer of pavers to the lower step here, then adding 2 steps going off of that.

Would it be a bad idea to just lay the new steps directly on the existing ground level patio steps?

I've seen mixed guidance on using construction adhesive vs just polysand. Any thoughts on that?

Unfortunately, I've come to learn over time that the best options for home improvement stuff usually turn out to be the more expensive ones and are often a pain in the ass labor-wise

It's funny how it always works out that way.

I hate having to look at a sub-par job for all of eternity when I know I could have done it better/the "right" way.

Yeah, definitely get that. You end up living with a reminder of your own impatience
