I would carry the heating pad and a short electrical extension lead.
I always carry the rather dodgy double adaptor shown in the photo so I'm not depriving any one else of the use of an electrical outlet.
I describe the adaptor as dodgy because it doesn't have an earth connection. I only use it...
I was looking at eSim's for a trip to the US, that won't happen for at least a year. I don't know when my next trip will be but it will probably be to Spain. So far my UK phone provider still has free roaming to the EU but that might change.
I think the company that I mentioned with eSims only...
I think what you need is an eSim. I haven't used one yet but I was looking into them for a future trip.
There are a number of companies that sell them, here's one a link to one of them

In general I found it well marked and yes there are arrows. I do seem to recall some confusion on the Sevilla - Guillena leg. I think it was just that there was a choice of routes and on one of them you had to walk through some water. Not difficult or fast flowing.

I've walked the Sanabres and it does have a last 100km vibe, some people were just doing the last 100km and a few joined from the Frances. While it did get a bit busier it's nothing like the last 100km of the Frances.
I walked a section of the Appalachian trail and it deliberately avoided going though habitation most of the time. On a few occasions I hitched into town.
I just tried your rain cover idea but instead of putting it on the usual way I put in on the other side. That way it covers the shoulder and waist straps.
I just watched the scrubba video and it looks like a good way of hand washing clothes. The scrubba bag is very expensive and as someone else commented any dry bag should do. I'm going to give it a go just using a plastic supermarket bag. I'm not good or patient washing clothes so I hope this...
