I have them in my SCGC TR and a Martin D-18GE.  These are passive pickups so some pre-amp is needed.  Depending on the venue, that might be through a DI to the house system, or an outboard DI.  I use a LR Baggs Para Acoustic DI for pre-amp and DI to the board.  The only caveat is the K&K needs to see a 1 Meg input impedance and the PADI is 10 Meg.  Still, I have gotten good sound using the PADI controls.  I may invest is the K&K pre-amp that has the matching input impedance but as I don’t need to plug in all that often, I’m holding off for now.

As for sound, I’ve had under saddle pickups and soundboard pickups from LR Baggs in the past.  The K&K by far seems to me to sound the best.  I like the fact there is no onboard pre-amp and consequently a battery inside the body of the guitar.  That was the primary reason I had the Baggs systems removed from both guitars.

Thank you for researching my question.  I was thinking the answer might be standard bracing based on the measurement I made but good to have confirmation.  Follow on question, do most standard TRs use this brace location?

I will check out the podcast if you decide to do one on bracing.
