But you're right, it's incredible how good they are. Small mistakes add up and they can utterly capitalize on them to keep up. It's very impressive.

Not really. GM has several hundred thousand DI Engines (maybe a million) on the road and it isn't a big issue. Look at the issues with the GM DI Engines and the big one is the V6 timing chain which goes back almost 8 years. Oil ingestion isn't even a glimmer. When I purchased my C7 I added the second DI engine to my stable. The first was my GMC Terrain.

If it is an M7 learn how to shift the transmission properly and you will not need an MGW. Transmission shifts easily and quickly if you use the palm of your hand and finger tips on top of the shifter to move the shifter. Do not grab it like a pistol grip or you will miss shifts. No need for shorter shift throw or fancy centering springs in the shifter.

Maybe others can comment on replacement pads. I believe that Adam at Carbotech can comment.
