I’ve got some reading to do, thank you.
I was under the impression it wasn’t proven until space probes proved light redshifts near the sun when pointed at earth or the gravitational wave discovery

Yeah the funding necessary for large scale gravitational wave research wouldn’t have been forthcoming unless everybody had been convinced GR was the best description available for decades.
Einstein predicted gravity waves but didn’t expect we’d ever have the technology to measure them.

It was actually Mercury, and Einstein himself proposed it.
