It feels pretty normal/similar to my previous bike in that respect

Personally just from looking at the frame in the pictures, it looks like the wheelbase is just way too long and that could be part of the problem. Maybe the guy asked for a really soft riding bike (long wheelbase) but with quick handling and the tweak was the FTA being steeper, so who knows.
The other thing, wheels and tires. If you are using 25s and 28s, the bike will handle a lot different with 21 and 23 mm tubulars, specially is inflated properly. If you are running like low tubeless in that bike i would try tubulars and see what happens.
I would start with the no hands test and try to get that part fixed 1st.
Good luck with this one...

I can, at least when going reasonably slow, but it doesn't feel very stable.
I run 27-28mm tubeless at 70psi but if tubulars are the solution then I'm just going to get a different bike...
