Sooo many different opinions: 1gram/lbs - 2 grams/lbs
Over the past few years I’ve hot the 1.5gram/lbs mark, but I would like to drop this down to around 1.2/lbs to allow me to include more carbs and good fats (at same calorie intake). Will this provide enough protein/aminos to aid muscle recovery and growth?
Yes, it’ll be enough. The Mighty Stu talks about this often. Anything between 1gram/lb -2g/lb is fine, but the more carbs you eat, probably the less amount of protein you ‘need’, because carbs are protein sparing.

This is true…and kept me from writing a novel.
