Re: L800 side wall issue
The L800s would work but just wouldn't be ideal in the space to get the full SDA wrap around the speakers are capable of. I eliminated my side surrounds eventually when I figured out the L800s were presenting a pronounced surround effect by themselves. They also work best at least a foot or two from the front wall unlike the original SDAs. I agree that the R700s may be the best option that Polk has now.
The L900 insert module is powered separately from the rest of the speaker and there's no harm in leaving them not connected.

Re: R-700 are Amazing for me!
On run in, my own experience is a minimum of 40 hours for things to balance out. Some say a hundred hundred or so hours with the larger (than usual for Polk) drivers used in the R700, L600, or L800.

Re: You’re doing it wrong…
That's definitely one way to get the magic smoke...

I shudder at the thought. In my meager time with A/V, I've owned two receivers and two processors. My first AVR dispersed the magic blue smoke right before my eyes....you can never unsee that and hope you never see it again.....

Re: L800 side wall issue
Current setup
For that room, get the R700. I finally got to hear them in action in an HT rig...nice.
