That heat and roll the end trick looks good
You can use the split ring over the bare wire part of the pin crimp.
I did this with the lose cable nearest the molex connector in the image above.
The ring is invisable when placed here.

That anti snag tool was a good idea - might make one with a plastic drinks straw.
As threading the wire through paracord is the worse bit :( - takes seconds with dence weave braid.
Took me a few minutes to pass the three fan wires down a single paracord sleave. cable tie is because I broke the clip with my big hands
(something the MDPC fan boys say can't be done :rolleyes:)

Personally I quite like the little flash of silver - matches the silver highlights on my build.
It also makes it less like shoelaces - something the MDPC braid fanboys love to overstate

I use to safety pins to remove the molex pins.
Aline side of pin with gap in molex connector (you know the gap between the holes the pins sit in)
push one barb fully inside the pin (pushish the open safety pin from the side)
rotate pin (if an end one)
Snag single barb with safety pin and pull out the wire.
