Answering my original questions:

No. A specific BH90-SS kit is needed.

This won't be possible (flat-mount calipers on a post-mount frame/fork).

Anyways, unimaginably, a quick test of 1/5th the price resin pads instead of finned sintered ones completely muted the brakes (exact same method of bedding in - brake firmly from good speed without locking wheels about 10-15 times).

However, one of the pistons in the other caliper doesn't move at even speeds even after cleaning and numerous bleeds, which keeps bending the rotor. They don't sell those separately, so gonna have to replace the whole caliper.

Otherwise, everything's nice apart from few things nothing to do with brakes. Completely fixable as well tho.
