However if you have to deal with possible fast timings and early harass I think about 70 would be a good target. Lemme know if you agree savior I'm pulling this 70 off the top of my head, it could be a little more or less?

Whats generally the timing of making those slowlings? Also, maybe 10 could be better? 4 lings beats a zealot, then you'd have an extra 6 for the stalker (plus 2-3 lings if your zealot lings surround the zealot) plus you'd have a queen at the hatch to use too if they engage.

Tbh, takes 2-3 minutes to test, so I'll do that now.

Edit:

With protoss microing and zerg a-moving (protoss not focusing queen):
1 queen 6 lings vs 1 stalker 1 zealot
1 queen left over, 1 stalker left over on low hp.

With protoss microing, zerg a-moving (protoss not focusing queen)
1 queen 8 lings vs 2 stalker 1 zealot OR 1 stalker 2 zealot
1 queen left over, stalker left over with half shields (or 2 stalkers half hp)

If they focus the queen, there'll be a lot of lings left over (duh)

You want to have watchtower control afterwards, so having 10 if 3 gateway units or 8 if 2 gateway units seems to be the way to go. Plus, you don't even really need to micro to win with those unit counts, you'll simply have enough units (Just don't follow stutter step stalkers across the whole map, engage on creep). Keep in mind you'll have at least two lings on the map earlier for watchtower control that you can to pull back to help vs the pressure, so I don't necessarily mean make 8 or 10.

Probably not overly important, but when everything else in the build is so exact, worthwhile thinking about it imo.
