It's a frog. I was planning on using Take Flight and Strong of Wing to simulate leaping long distances and high heights with ease.

That's... a great idea, actually.

A Battletoad!?

Decidedly not.
He's a frog, not a toad. Though I suppose he could be considered a battle frog, since he is a monk with a pretty straightforward martial build.

What options are there that increase all your speeds?
Seems like everything simply references "Speed" which means land speed.
Not sure if you're still looking, but I just stumbled on to the Warp Step cantrip, which explicitly adds +5' to all your speeds.
If you do the Psychic Multiclass, you can take the Unbound Step Concious Mind, get Warp Step as your psi cantrip, and it increases your speed by +10' instead, and you can amp it to cast it as a single action.

Pretty cool, though it doesn't sound like something that can be combined with Take Flight.

Hmmm, yeah it seems like there’s not too many things that don’t explicitly increase land speed rather than all speeds. For the concept at least you could consider taking all the jump feats and seeing if your dm would allow you to leap +take flight without falling to simulate a particularly powerful frog leap. A monk with just quick jump will quickly start horizontal leaping farther than 15/25 feet, and you could use take flight as a one action “increase my jump distance by 25” or to make high jumps easier. Though not by much - since flying up is difficult terrain, take flight is only giving you a 5 foot vertical and strong of wing is 10.

Most of the groups I play with are pretty house-rule adverse. Though it's true that monk abilities will get more range in the long run, some of the flying animal advantages over monk feats and abilities is that it takes less investment, uses ancestry feats (freeing up more class feat and skill feat options), doesn't require a check (a potential failure point), and is unlikely to be interpreted different ways at different tables.
