I use same method and have stuck with H264 and use EditReady as it allows multiple audio tracks to pass through. (H265 too slow to encode ply requires later OS X version)
PP gets AAC tracks mixed up so I generally retranscode the mezzanine (transport) proxies to ProRes Proxy, which means the audio channels are correct & its a more edit friendly codec.

Maybe do a screen capture of what you are doing in PP & we’ll try & show you a way of achieving it in Avid.

Not sure what your question is? You are not able to stay in trim mode?
My tips on trim mode:
Assign/learn shortcuts for-
trim, src/rec, effect & ccr modes (I use F2/F3/F4/F5)
toggle trim sides
trim 1/many frames
Previous/next edit
Extend (this is quickest way for simple trims)
Top & tail (like Q & W in PP)
Head/tail fades (for quick audio fades esp dialogue/music edits)rather than mousing around.
Learn to select different sides to (asymmetric) trim
Alt& trim mode takes you back to trim mode *with* previous trim sides selection
Learn how extend works. No need to select an edit like PP, obeys mark in (or out) and track selectors.
It’s totally worth the effort to get keyboard approach sorted, Avid trimming is the major thing I miss in PP.

Learn keyboard shortcuts.
I think the default keys for A1,2,3,4 are nine, zero, minus and equals (I have them remapped to one, two, three, four because it makes sense to me).
Turn ‘autopatch’ on ( https://bfy.tw/1SnS )
Now, if you leave V1 and A3,4 selected in your timeline – loading a new clip will be set to a default patch, with all tracks enabled.
As you have loaded a clip in the source monitor, it has focus, so your keyboard commands for A1,2 will deselect those buttons and autopatch will patch the remaining tracks (A3,4) to the currently enabled timeline tracks (A1,2).
You can use deselect all (Cmd+shift+A) to help get either side to a blank slate.
There is a setting to recall selected tracks when clip is loaded – I prefer to have this on, not sure what the default is.
Here’s a video I made a few years ago to try and encourage Adobe to be ‘inspired’ by autopatch. No luck yet https://www.dropbox.com/s/sy71wfce2tksgbg/detailed%20autopatch.mp4?dl=0

https://elteesee.pehrhovey.net/ Will generate LTC, only up to 30fps though. How accurate does it need to be? 30 FPS timecode may be fine

Not entirely sure what you are trying to accomplish here but thisLayer.name in source text expression is what I use for quick way of changing layer text.
Sometimes parse thisComp.name to save even going into comp plus it means export file name references content too.

Thanks for sharing.
Maybe vote for #2 on this list?
