Tubeless is the key here, it makes such a huge difference it's not even funny. It's a plenty supple tire but if you're looking for even more supple (and less durable) then there are other options, like Compass tires.
The weirdest cockpit i have ever seen. Complete sorcery. I think you used dropbar extensions on a flat bar. But how did you manage the cabling? How did you connect the brake and shift cables to both controllers? I have used interrupter brakes before, but this is something very different here.
