Setup now is acoustic carbon lg with rozena fh and flashback MP bh. Problem is I have zero skills blocking dead/short with longish pips. I get no practice or coaching right now so hoping to improve it by EJing.

I love the fh, but feel like the AC is too fast for blocking with MP at my woeful skill level. Wondering if I get a slower blade, with a faster or bouncier fh rubber than rozena, can I net some bh improvement without losing a lot of fh quality?

Maybe the all-wood acoustic with T05 or D05 fh?

I don't know, what does the collective wisdom of OOAK say ?

I would not be going by what the collective cluelessness of OOAK says
Because short Pips & Medium pips are NOT backhand rubbers
Short pips is theoretically the best forehand rubber if you are talented enouigh to use it (or a penholder from youth with proper training) but is short pips is the worst backhand rubber

I agree.
I used to be afraid of being shunned by robotNazis and ashamed to admit I was a honorary looper like you but once I realized how much I have been brainwashed by the robotNazis into thinking long pips is bad, the transition to long pips was easy.

Medium pips may be a little better for backhand than short pips for backhand but long pips are far superior for your backhand,
Yes the learning curve is steeper but is worth the effort.
