DId mine too a few months ago. I filled my holes by fiberglassing them over and feathering out with glazing putty. Did not clearcoat as I wanted to maintain the stock flat black look.

Automotive paint spray with an HVLP gun. Had it color matched to the Onyx black and it blended it great.

No, not at all. Get regular flat black spray paint and do multiple light coat blending each one out a little further than the last. Guarantee it will look great.

My wires were long enough, definitely some tension on them but I did it over 3 years ago and no problems. I did have to cut the one vacuum line and reconnect with a small vacuum connector, but other than that, no cutting. I ordered some 2" rubber grommets from McMaster Carr. Had to order 25 minimum in a pack so if anyone wants some let me know.
