Don't need anything on those joints
It won't.
Why are those joints not tight?

There is no problem using filler on the joints, screw holes and even the edges. Sand and dust before you prime. I have done this for many years in various shop fitting companies although we spray finished or laminated rather than painted.
On odd occasions where a customer wanted a colour we could not source, we would use foam rollers and sand before spraying on the polyurethane finish.
You could just roll PVA all over and throw glitter at it? It is Christmas after all

On the final layer, am I okay to use a solvent based satinwood even though I’ve used a water based primer?
I found the solvent based product to be longer lasting and the water based satinwood I used previously was forever “sticky”.
Can I please have your advice on this.

Yes of course, obviously not the other way round.
That's looking sexy, well done!!
I would be. I could actually use that right now in my tiny houseshare room. 2.4 x 2.6 metres is a struggle to live and sleep in!!
How many sheets on MDF did you use? Full sheets 1220 x 2440?
I’m really chuffed. Have to admit that I am getting into the habit of staring at it in admiration...
Not finished yet and there’s no way I could have done it without all the input I’ve had from this forum (a few posts that I’ve put out over the last few weeks). Thanks again
