Can I log calories for weight lifting as a “cardio?” Strength won’t log calories spent.

Yes. Cardio -> Strength Training, input total session time.
You're wasting your time trying to compute calories for each set.2 -

Use "Strength training (weight lifting, weight training" for traditional heavy-ish reps/sets training, and use the full wall clock time including normal brief between-set rests. (If there's a longer break in there, sure, subtract that time.)
If the strength work is more like continuous faster-paced alternation through different exercises without rests between, then I'd suggest one of the "Circuit training" options. I'd say that whether there's some cardio-ish thing between strength exercises to make it continuous, just a continuous circuit of strength exercises (like big supersets), one of those routines that has fast-paced high-rep workouts with relatively lighter weights, or even continuous AMRAP/EMOM kind of stuff.0
