2) I figured you knew to put the "bumps" over the plastic, but I was just brainstorming there. We have some extra of the silicon pads that go under the dpad. I could send you one to see if it fixes the problem. Let me know if you'd want a replacement to test.
3) I'm pretty certain that the battery connector has quite a lot of friction even with the bumps. In fact, this is what we've done with most of our batteries, because we use them for testing a lot, and that means we're constantly plugging/unplugging them.
4) I don't think so. If SEL is the hotkey, then you just hold SEL and then also tap the other button to do the hotkey combo (IIRC). The main thing (as mentioned) is that in some games, you might accidentally exit (or do other hotkey combos).
5) I think button 8 sounds correct offhand.
6) The whole way the power button was intended to work was to be a power button (not switch). Think of it more like how an iPhone or laptop power button works. The original GBA power switch actually cuts off power to the battery. The FPZ power button sends a signal to the Pi Zero. The software determines what to do with it (like hotkey or shutdown or whatever).
Anyway, do what you like. The whole thing here is that we're supplying hardware, and you can choose how you want to use it.
Just because we intended it to be a certain way doesn't mean that it has to be like that.
