You're right, it would be easier. I actually have said adapter, but I have height restriction issues in the shelf where the console is so it won't fit with the adapter. I only need to do it for Kirby 3 and Mario RPG, so not worried about the hassle of modding the donor SFC carts.

I just use a game genie. No issues aside from not being able to play mode 7 games.

Kirby's Dreamland 3 and Super Mario RPG both use the SA-1 chip, and have the extra pins. If you're gonna put them in SFC shells, be sure to use a SFC cart from a game that uses SA-1 or the Super FX chip. The PCB and cart shells are a little different from games without special chips.

I don't see why mode 7 would be a problem. That's just when the background scales/rotates.
