Fidelity is a good choice. There are lots of us who do the same thing, including early retirees like me, and it works well. A bonus with Fidelity is that they have investor centers where you can walk in and ask questions, which is something that other low fee brokerages like Vanguard lack.
If you are planning to retire at 57, managing healthcare costs will be one of your biggest challenges. Start reading up on the ACA rules, especially on the premium subsidies that scale with your income. Keeping your taxable income / MAGI low while on the ACA is the right approach, so study up on how withdrawals from the various accounts impact MAGI and thus your ACA costs.
You mentioned Bogleheads...if you don't already know, they have a good forum with people that are really good with finances. Recommend you consider posting there as well to get feedback on your financial plan.
