Well I'm sure you're all on the edge of your seats for updates, but I've ironed out a few kinks.
Found a 406 gumwall tyre to match, aesthetics are king after all.
Sorted magic gearing. Turns out the dropout only has enough room for the able and anti-turn washer, no extra for adjustment. Chainring is a bit on the small side but I can cruise comfortably in gears 5-7. 2-4 for uphill but 1 is just too low. Bonus: drivetrain is lovely and quiet now without the tensioner.
Switched out the handlebars for a riser, which sorted the twitchiness as my hands are no longer behind the steerer. Kept the short stem so I can fold the lid back properly.
