Ive got a Tronxy X5S upgraded with my own mods. I have this glass bed https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B07FLBLTXF/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o06__o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 and DC's IR bed sensor. I purchased a matt black peice of card from WH Smith, cut it to size and placed it between the bed and glass. Everything works a treat and my heightmap could not be better. My prints are top notch too.

Concerning the feed sensors: Will it be possible to use them to calibrate the extrusion speed? e.g. running an extrusion and comparing the intented steps/distances with the measurements so you can finetune the maximum extrusion speed?

Using the laser filament monitor: yes, because it reports absolute distances.

Using the magnetic filament monitor: not sure. The filament rotates a hobbed shaft, so the calibration will depend on how accurately that shaft is machined, and possibly on how soft the filament is. So you might need to do an initial calibration at low speeds, then the filament monitor could calibrate the nonlinear extrusion coefficients needed for high speed extrusion.
