Sorceress Queen
Creature — Human Wizard
Tap: Target creature other than Sorceress Queen becomes 0/2 until end of turn.
Rhadamanthus on Does Inside Out still work?

Yes. In the sub-layers of the P/T layer that define the order of how to apply P/T-altering effects, P/T-switching effects are applied last. Layer 7a is characteristic-defining abilities that define P/T (e.g. Tarmogoyf), 7b is effects that set P/T to a specific number (e.g. Sorceress Queen), 7c is effects and counters that modify without setting to a specific number (e.g. the usual +/- stuff) and 7d is P/T switching effects (e.g. Inside Out).

Rhadamanthus, legendofa Okay, I was thinking that since I didn't have priority between untap/upkeep and the trigger being on the stack to be able to use Sorceress Queen's ability before Drop of Honey resolves. But what you are saying is I can activate her while the trigger is on the stack prior to the Drop of Honey resolution which would allow me to choose which creature to destroy.

I don't see why you would be unable to respond to the Drop of Honey trigger to use Sorceress Queen as intended. SQueen's ability doesn't have any timing restrictions, and Drop isn't a targeted effect, so you don't have to choose the creature to destroy until it resolves. (This second part might be where I'm wrong; if it is, could I please get an explanation?)
Quick reference, Porphyry Nodes has updated rules text that's exactly the same as Drop of Honey's.

I have a resolved Drop of Honey and a Sorceress Queen that is no longer summoning sick. I know that I can't respond to the DoH trigger on the upkeep, so how then can I use SQ's ability to my advantage? Do I need to use her ability at the end of my opponent's turn? Or does this combo simply no longer work?

Coffin Queen and Sorceress Queen both need to go on here. Maybe they're related (In which case 'queen' might be a surname), or at least know each other. I think the two of them would get along.

Sorceress Queen, Disciple of the Vault, and Helm of Possession were in the deck early on; the helm eventually ended up in a clone deck, and the other two were phased out as I tried other things. I like equipment that can be re-used when you suffer a setback and there's some recursion for artifacts if it does end up in the graveyard.

It's not new or shiny, but Gift of Doom might be a better source of Indestructible if you have access to Black. Morph isn't an ability as far as stuff like Split Second are concerned, so it's better than Flash arguably (imho it's usually easier to counter an Artifact vs a Morph creature in Commander, so that's a bit more upside). You can also protect non-Legends, not sure if that comes up, but the sacrifice cost can easily be an upside in this deck.
I kind of like the idea of Sorceress Queen, her ability can be used to nerf an opponent's creature, or to protect one of your bigger bodies (that doesn't have +1 counters). I couldn't decide if you have enough of your own bodies that she can protect, but I thought I'd mention it. I'm not sure if anyone plays decks that revolve around big haymakers, but if anyone uses them (or generically good Commanders) you can steal them with Ritual of the Machine or Helm of Possession, both require a creature, a cost you're very able to pay I suspect.
After thinking a bit more, would Disciple of the Vault do anything in here? It's a bit like Blood Artist in that it can punish decks trying to do unfair things (your group doesn't like infinites, but does it like treasures?), but it also lets you pinch people whenever any artifact of your own dies. and you do have a few artifact creatures/token generators. Disciple also works with Grim Hireling, but you need to be getting in consistently, I wasn't sure if your deck achieves that most games.
Great deck idea!

Oooh - Sorceress Queen could turn any creature you’re about to sacrifice into a 0/2 so that it qualifies for your commander. That might be super helpful, but maybe only in limited circumstances...
