There are couple of ways I use to mod rechargeable battery pack:
1) The one you saw, 8x AA, but bulky.
2) 8x AAA, fits into the battery box, but juts out by 0.5cm
3) In plan: mod direct 9v adapter
4) In plan: mod out the board or direct-to-cable 9V (without box)
My comments on your 42009:
* Your gear looks good, but is it me, or the 20T right-gear (next to cab) is a bit slanted or under pressure ? Or you have not push the bottom axle fully-through yet ?
* Can the left-yellow L-beam adjust left-right (and the grey-bush at the back) ? Since you take out the 1x3 Liftarm.
* Since there is no 1x3 thin-liftarm (without axle hole), I think maybe can fit a 1x4 thin-liftarm as replacement ? Not sure will affect operation or not. Otherwise I have extra that can sacrifice to cut it.
* yeah, the axle-pin without friction for the out-riggers looks good. Is it more smooth when motor the outriggers ?
* Time for you to order parts ...
Jealous ... I not yet have time to build this. But I think I will build B-model first. Play a while, then disassemble and build A-model, and keep it as that. Cause once I build A-model, don't think I will build B-model already.
BTW, I found out a rough-way to synchronise the 2x LA. Just extend to maximum and let it grind 1-2 times. In my 8043 last weekend, it auto-sync my LA, since I switch it to parallel 20T gears also.
mod direct 9v adapter is that means directly use power from plug with 9v adapter? wow... that's a great idea
let me answer some of the your comments in picture

-20T right gear are u mean the one in circle? i did check again just now but there's no unusual friction... i try spin with finger but it's ok for me...
the gear actually spin itself, not with the beam and the beam/axle is at correct position...
-the left-yellow L-beam and the grey-bush at the back is the one that arrow pointing? i did not try to adjust it... it may possible but it will require to open quite a lot inside...
-i'm did not try to fit a 1x4 thin-liftarm as replacement but i know the 1x3 thin-liftarm is a great replacement... the axle/beam is not spin when the gear is moving so no problem at all... no need to sacrifice the parts...
- the outriggers in my opinion, it is more smooth after i take out the blue pin... i did not feel much difference of lowering but smoother when raising... maybe there's also affect the lowering, it's just i think not much compare with raising...
-order parts... well... actually i already plan to order some lego parts as replacement for some of my old sets (some of my old sets have parts missing/broken) but this plan always postpone until now also have to postpone due to $$$ problem... maybe have to postpone until next year...
BTW, i found that there are more and more parts i want to order as i postpone but salary still same
i found a lego part seller marcus also selling CMF as well so maybe plan to take all one shot in future
the 42009 B model also quite nice... however when i'm think of my hard work (1 day and a morning) for the main model (and also fingers painful for 1 day) makes me hesitate to build the B model...
synchronise the 2x LA probably the hardest part when i modify it... getting the same point is easy but hardest part is when u put in the gear, the point will run away and need to synchronise the 2x LA again...
but luckily i manage to synchronise the 2x LA after some trial and error

aiya ... now only saw your post below
The blue pin, if you want to sacrifice, you can sand-down the ridges to remove the friction.
LOL ... nice hidden-camera in plane.
well... i rather use my loose, old parts from my old sets than sacrifice the new blue pin...
and i purposely take the pictures of hidden camera

Make sydney opera into a coffee table with glass top
that's a great idea... i think i will still get this set if $$$ allow even there's without space for me to display it...
maybe change the TV to those nipis, can put on wall and use the space of the existing TV
or a new coffee table with glass top...

haha....is it? let take a small 1 for testing 1st.
in my own opinion, the small set of technic won't make your fingers painful after finish it...
the bigger, more part, more complex sets will make u finger pain if u finish it in 1 shot...
