Also I had to tune TMC2209 virtual endstop sensitivity. May be you also need to tune it:

# driver_SGTHRS: 75
driver_SGTHRS: 82

[tmc2209 stepper_y]

# driver_SGTHRS: 75
driver_SGTHRS: 82

I use such retainers for a month on my K1SE together with pair of D3VIL DesignKraken v2 NEMA17 motors on X and Y axes and X-axis rail mod and achieved noticeable VFA reduction .

I use POWGE 1.5GT Pulleys and belts:

However, I still testing that.
