I would recommend a t800 carbon or better grade like a t1000, I was going to mention the new t1000 S5 look alike on AliExpress, but it's aero style and high in price

Fork, Shimano groupset + brakes are heavy. That's why you are not sub-10kg. Tubeless is a must as well, gain in weight and comfort.
But with such light wheels the bike should be pretty fast and dynamic despite the total weight.

Seems a bit high...but not out of the norm for larger shops.

I used color matched electrical tape
With a clutch derailer, it's not as critical to have stuff all over the chainstay. I rode with a buddy Saturday who has an older bike, and I swear I could hear his chain slapping from 30 feet away.
