I did not read your whole [long] text, BUT I believe the better way to to this is to get rid of STP altogeather.  STP based designs went away 10 years ago.  Or at least 5+ -Smiley Wink

 

Instead take the 2 x EX4300, make them into a VC.  Now these switches act as 1.  Then create FEC from any of your Cisco access switches with the links split between the 2 x EX4300.  On the EX4300 you just create an AE (LAG) with a member physically residing on each switch.  Then you get completely redundnancy and active-active forwarding on all links of the LAG/FEC, without the need for any messy STP configuration of any type.

 

Welcome to 2016 and better way to design networks!
