Yeah the glove thumb pad sucks. Those 2 keys furthest away are impossible with RSI. Surely it's obvious. I'm surprised they haven't refined them.
Apart from that it's a great keyboard.

Have you tried the moonlander, or similar style thumb pads with articulated or more exaggerated angle? Seems to me that the thumb action should be at about 90 degrees to the finger action. I have a fancy keyboard to help with wrist issues, and I think thumb issues will arise next.
I have used splits for a long time. An improvement I swear by for thumb clusters is making the keys farther from me taller. I have no idea how I'd hit them without that. My keyboard is a Keebio Iris [0]. The thumb keys closest to me have relatively low-profile DSA key caps. The keys above them are SA (edit: row 3). I think this is a decent avenue for keyboard customizers to explore to make their thumbs have a better time reaching up a row.
The Glove uses low profile switches though, so I have no idea if different height caps are even possible with those.

profiled keycaps are absolutely possible but I haven't seen any out there. someone wanting that would probably have to 3D print their own, or at least some kind of spacer
Same. Owned two. Sold both of them because of the thumb cluster issue, it was killing my thumb joint.
