Thus conclusion can be only one (please confirm it or correct me if
I'm wrong): Brugmannian PIE reconstruction despite of its
conservatism that is covered by two books:

Indogermanisches etymologisches Wörterbuch by Julius Pokorny
Grundriß der vergleichenden Grammatik der indogermanischen Sprachen
by Karl Brugmann and Berthold Delbrück.

is a most comprehensive and complete ever PIE reconstruction. Where I
can download full online copy of Grundriß - revised second edition?

Both books are described here:
