Delay() appears to no longer operate in ms

have you seen the doc ?

Generally, an ISR should be as short and fast as possible. If your sketch uses multiple ISRs, only one can run at a time, other interrupts will be executed after the current one finishes in an order that depends on the priority they have. millis() relies on interrupts to count, so it will never increment inside an ISR. Since delay() requires interrupts to work, it will not work if called inside an ISR. micros() works initially but will start behaving erratically after 1-2 ms. delayMicroseconds() does not use any counter, so it will work as normal.

I would use a button library and a state machine approach (Here is a small introduction to the topic: Yet another Finite State Machine introduction)
