Bar the unclearness of the puzzle itself, here's a potential solution:
Here're the assumptions I made:

This feels like a pretty big stretch, but...
My prefix, proudest hunter, still stands guard o'er home and grain;
My suffix, firm foundation, from which space is realised;
My infix, part outstanding, leaves a gap for us to work.
But ye who seek me out, beware: for heroes fall, but not all rise.
I feel like the prefix and sum are reasonable ...

After getting (reasonably confidently, but perhaps you had something else in mind for 13a) this far

I'll have another guess:
Soldiers carry their rations slung across their back;
I have no need for food, yet I too have a sack.
I do not stir; I remain silent and still;
Watching, waiting, to hear the enemy trill.
Then I strike, warding off the warriors of the air,
But soldiers of the ground, me they do not fear.
The vulnerable about me, it is my job to ...

I am not very good at word games. I regularly use a hand-held crossword solver to help me finish quick crosswords. (Forget about cryptic crosswords. Well, I did finish one, but it took me a week, and my evenings were completely free because I was on holiday [vacation] at the time.) I occasionally can use this for codewords as well, particularly if there are ...

My favourite CodeWord trick is to find several partial words with the same uncoded number, and this can often reveal the letter.
For example, say you have:
_EST, BE_T, _ICE
Each option has several words that fit:
best, gest, lest, nest, pest, rest, west
beat, beet, belt, bent, best
dice, lice, mice, nice, rice
and only _=N and _=L fit ...

Codeword puzzles are usually designed to have an approachable way of starting. (I am fairly sure it would be possible to make one that was solvable in principle but really hard to find one's way into, but the people who make them aren't aiming for that.) I think usually there is at least one word in the grid that (1) has one or more letters that are already ...

Once you've inserted all of the starting letters, I normally see if any of the words (or certain sub-strings of them) pop out to me. For example, given ----I-G, you can be confident that the penultimate letter is a N. Comparing words in the puzzle with common prefixes and suffixes often gives a few more letters.
Also, when checking a word, remember that ...

English is not my first language, so this is was hard for me.
Starting:
A word-list with 350.000 words is reduced to these 114 words. Some of them are names of species, for instance aegla, and there might be some impossible letter-combinations I've missed.
I can reduce this to 22 words that I know I've either said or written myself:
