that's how I usually set the limit screws, is there a better option?)

Me too, so let's hope not 😀

as the cage moves towards the lower gears, it reaches a certain point where the cable is bent in such an angle (like in my pic) that pulling on it further doesn't really move the mounting point any further outwards, but only tries pulling it upwards.

It does seem like a design which relies on the dropout not exceeding the specified thickness, as there's basically no margin for over-travel at the low gear end. I had the opposite issue with my MTB, dropout too thin meant it wouldn't reach top gear. Obviously, a shim solved that for me, but you're going to find it harder to get a negative shim.

That might actually be the issue, hanger seems a bit chunky. Tried it with a different RD and put in a new inner cable, didn't change anything. Will throw a hanger alignment tool at it tomorrow and if that doesn't solve it (more doing it just to be sure it's straight, not really expecting it to solve anything tbh), I'll try to get a friend to machine the hanger down a bit - I'm lacking around a mm of movement.
