i am curious what you mean by looking for new reserve currencies as a function of a portfolio, does this mean simply going overweight non US stocks?

This is significantly less important to individual investors. As an individual investor you need to simply not be in inflationary assets. Stocks, even US stocks is fine.

The USD being the world reserve currency and use by countries around the world as official currency means when the US government prints money... it's not really felt against the american people. It's felt against any country that isnt. When the USD loses it's reserve status or becomes far less important. The american people will start to truly feel inflation and the debt. Right now, this is absolutely nothing.

The BRICS summit this year will have Biden sweating bullets. They'll probably line it up against the US midterms. Ukraine wont be a subject at this summit but will be the most important subject.

Largely speaking, the USD when it drops will be very painful for the american people.
