Beware 9.7″ as they are probably old Pearl 150 dpi screens. There are probably only 227 dpi 10.3″ common in that size.
You've already tried the Elipsa 2E and Kindle Scribe (300 dpi 10.2″). I don't know about the Scribe, but the Sage and Elipsa don't actually have extra distance to the screen (or any significant extra) than the recessed Libra 2 or Kindle Paperwhite 3 (I have all 4).
Only models with no touch and no light-pipe for front lighting have the eink panel closer. All have a plastic or glass (reMarkable 2) top layer.
The inkpad lite might have the same ancient 150 dpi pearl screen as the old Kindle DXG (not DX). It's from 2021 and obsolete at launch. A certain review site claims it's Carta (I think it's Pearl), but it's certainly 150 dpi and the plastic texture to reduce glare may make it a little softer. It's got a light-pipe layer for LED front light which puts the eink further away than on the DXG (no lights or touch).
Recessed was originally for a couple of reasons. Rare now on larger ereaders.
