The prize goes to John H. It was the insoles. Bought a pair of stock Specialized insoles after trying out the less-worn ones from my MTB shoes (also S-works, also 2010, but used less). Pain totally resolved. Soles themselves are OK!

I was a bit skeptical at first, as you saw, because I've yet to wear out a pair of insoles, and because the problem onset suddenly after changing my cleats. However, it turns out that I also never worn the same shoes for 6 or 7 years at a stretch. All previous shoes were either sold due to not fitting or destroyed in car v bike accident (yes, it was a bad one). And now that you mention it, the insoles are foam or something like it, and foam will compress.
