Due to these complications, I am considering foregoing the micro SD socket altogether and sort of going the more GBZ traditional route and soldering a Micro SD>SD card adapter to the pinouts on the Kitsch-Bent PCB. Only hurdle I foresee with this path is mapping the differences (if any) between the SD & Micro SD pinouts.
Once I get the Micro SD>SD Card adapter pinouts mapped out to the Micro SD card pinouts on the PCB, I'll try and provide a mockup similar to the PP Pad>Cartridge pinout mockup I shared previously for anyone else considering this avenue. One slight hurdle I can think of is the pinouts shown for Micro SD are reversed when mapping to the actual pinouts on the PCB. So when all is said and done, I will have a Micro SD>SD adapter manually wired to the Kitsch-Bent PCB much like others have been wiring the Micro SD>SD adapter to an actual Gameboy PCB. The cartridge pinouts to the Pi shouldn't change since I am tying into the existing pins.
UPDATE:
I have decided to go with a Micro SD Card Cartridge created by forum user prerunnerseth.

His cartridges contain filtering on them that removes any problems like interference. They also come fully assembled so that is a plus. I will probably put the remaining Kitsch-Bent cartridge boards I have up for sale in the
Buy, Sell Trade board to any who may want them.
