However, it’s not perfectly white like paper, in that there is a small network of LED lights in a grid-like formation. Would that adversely affect the flats?

The temperature tip is much appreciated. I was getting a little ambitious in wanting the coolest temperature possible, but treating the camera well will result in it treating me well. I’ll stick to -5 & -10 so as not to put too much strain on the camera.
You can put one (or multiple) layers of paper between the tracing panel and the scope as it can diffuse the LEDs over a broader area. Or even add a t-shirt or pillowcase. I do the same thing

And yes, keep your filter on when taking flats. Everything stays the same as your lights.
