Can’t you check for spark by pulling the coil, pulling the spark plug and inserting it in the coil? Turn the engine over and see if you are getting spark. If not then swap spark plugs or swap a new plug and continue to isolate a plug problem versus a coil problem. Seems like if you have compression and if you have fueling confirmed (pressure, delivery and tune) then this is a spark issue.

Seems like if it was a MAF issue then every cylinder would be bad. Same if it was a fuel regulator or any other component that is not cylinder specific.
