So I saw the RAI that makes that no longer an option for human half elves because they don't live long enough but with the optional half elf heritage for other ancestors something like a dwarven half elf should be be an option.
The other thing is more theoretical since I don't believe I'll start a character at 14th level maybe ever but monks get a feat that makes them stop aging which should also theoretically enable human half elves.to live long enough to be ancient.
So is it pointless to theorize around dwarf/elves gnome/elves or too much trying to powergame? Because it's not intended by RAW and would a starting lvl 14 monk be able take a lvl 14 feat before a lvl 1 heritage feat?

Well, I tend to be a very permissive GM and let weird things run abound. One of my players next characters is probably going to be a half-elf goblin because he wanted a cute anime goblin and, well...
So I'd let most of this slide if someone really wanted it. I don't find Ancient elf all that strong regardless and I use the Free Archetype rule variant.
However, all of this comes down to whatever your GM envisions for the game. And if you're playing in Society, this'll simply never happen.

someone asked the question about non human half elves at gen con. the answer was no at this time. they did leave open the possibility they might include that in the future, but the chance did appear to be slight.
It’s no for canon Golarion, so no feat or actual rule support, but core book have a sidebar saying it’s possible if GM says yes.

About the feats, it calls out you are only able to take feats at a level if you were able to take it at the time of the specific level. So no you could not base the prerequisites of a feat for 1st level off a feat that will happen at later levels. To take a first level feat as a level 1 feat you must have been able to take it at level 1.
