Three Strikes is Too Many!

Here's where you can try Three Strikes and You’re Out by James Kopp: https://sudokupad.app/329ytp25q2
Normal sudoku rules apply. Cells separated by an X sum to ten and cells separated by a V sum to five. Not all possible Xs and Vs are necessarily given. Any vertical or horizontal straight line of three cells never contains a consecutive set of digits (in any order).
