I totally agree with you on that point when I see the picture of your rear brake lines. I was not expecting the callipers to be front mounted (but rather top or rear mounted) and that close to the back seat assembly.
I usually say (as banjos are more expensive, involve more parts, and are a pain to bleed) that "banjos should be avoided except when there is not enough room to fit tubular fittings". It actually looks like with this set-up, we are very close to this exception where banjos are needed.
A 90° banjo will give the same angle as a straight tubular fitting, but a 45° or even a 60° banjo should do the job.

Hopefully your experience will serve future builders
Thanks.
