I learned that the hard way that I should not use ball end of my hex key on an unfamiliar hex screw. The head round right away and it need bigger torx head to turn it out with a lot of elbow grease and pray. That wasn't fun. Luckily, replacement cap was readily available cheaply (back in 2019).

Have both GRX 800 series 2x setup and a Force AXS mullet setup on two different gravel bikes. Lever feel is different, but I wouldnt say the difference between braking capability overall is worth losing sleep over - both absolutely more than sufficient.

That's funny because modern Shimano brakes get torn apart on the mtb forums for their fluctuating bite point. Gold standard right now for trail riding are SRAM Guides and older Shmano SLX if you can find them.
