    I don’t think its really a very strong rule tbh, if it is one. I’m a native english speaker and I hear people say if before would all the time.

    In the sentence in question, “were to” would probably work better, but mainly as would had already been used earlier, and it feels clunky repeating it.

    “If you would do x for me, that’d be great.” Good example of an if before a would.
