I was surprised the rear mech didn't work. Maybe I fitted a 10 speed one instead of a 9. I have a 9 speed mtb mech on my gravel bike with 2x10 ultegra shifters and that works ok.
I was really disappointed when the front mech didn't cover all of the 3 rings, it'll only do 2 depending on where the cable is clamped. Maybe I need the jtek for that?

Shimano MTB 9 speed mech works fine with Shimano 10 speed road shifters. Used this combo for years. There is a tiny, tiny difference in the mech travel but not enough to cause a problem. I have seen the recommendation that best set up for the centre of the cassette with the shifter on the right click, but I never bothered with that.
I also used an MTB 9 and 10 speed front mech with the 3 x 10 shimano shifters and it worked fine. Last mech I used was M780 I think. I have found front MTB mechs to be quite forgiving when used with different levers
