I currently have diamond stones from 50-1500 grit, along with a translucent Arkansas and a black Arkansas, and CBN strop emulsion set. and I was curious about any other stones I may benefit from.

I was looking at a 1x4 sintered ruby ceramic stone that is about 3k grit, or maybe some of the spyderco ceramic stones, but I really just wanted some advice on what stones I could benefit from.

I enjoy trying out different stones and how they cut differently, but wasn’t sure where in the progression I should add in stones and in what grit, only thing is they either have to be 1x4(preferred) or 1x6. Any recommendations?
 
Sounds like you're pretty well covered to me. I have the same except I use gunny juice on a balsa wood strop.
 
For fun you might use a set of Silicon Carbide (SIC) stones in KME form factor for your non-high vanadium steels. They are less expensive in general. As you have a 3rd party stone holder, you could get thinner longer stones for curves, and triangle stones for their corners on serrations. I have Congress, Sharpmaker, and Idahone rods.
