I recently moved my Serotta Rapid Tour from a 7800 groupset to a r8000/9000 set, and while the 7800 brakes cleared these tires/wheels (RH 32mm extralights + velocity quills; measured width 33mm) pretty easily, the two pivots on the r8000 brakes come a little too close to the shoulders of the tire for me to feel comfortable with (see attached pictures).

So for now I've put the 7800 brakes back on and while they stop me, the modulation feels off and in general they pale in comparison to when they were paired with the 7800 levers.

Does anyone have any experience or recommendations for brakes that would clear these tires and play well with the updated shimano lever cable pull ratio? How do the velo orange grand cru or TRP long/mid reach brakes feel with these levers? Are there any shimano options that don't have the protruding pivots? I'm looking for something that provides the same feel/performance as a matched set of shimano 11sp levers/brakes.
