Done so twice now, there's def enough gap and it runs fine for a month or two. I'll try it again. Is carbon paste generally only for carbon on carbon then? Wouldn't be any benefit here?

You shouldn't need to apply carbon grease on the steerer tho.

No. Any clamping interface with carbon. Allows you to better manage the clamp pressure but retain the same grip. I use it on steerer / stem interface regardless of stem material.
(I have no crabon stems :( )

It works for metal on carbon too, but it's unlikely to help much in your situation.
I like to torque down the headset preload screw to about 5Nm after securing the stem clamp, it seems to reduce the possibility of the preload screw loosening by precession which in turn stops the stem from walking up the steerer.

Sound like the headsets is settling in, start again and set it up.
Make sure to check there's enough gap between the spacers and top cap.
6Nm sound about right to me, you can always go a little over it.
