You should b ok with super and subs with a pistol position 16" upper but you may have to play with handloads some to find the right combo.
If I were doing this over then this is personally what I would do.
Side charging upper/carrier "mega machine upper the bcg they reccomend also"
yhm ff tube "works with tp555's block if i am correct"
spooks barrel threaded 5/8x24 tpi
magpul 20 round mags.
heavy buffer
upper should run around $550 minus the barrel and block since their prices to machine are dependent on material cost at that time. You can also get a 300 blackout barrel and use the same brass/data as the whisper.
The reason I say the side charging upper is that you can cut the gas off and use it simmilar to a bolt action which is the cats ass when suppressed fyi.

Funny you mention those build points. Mine is almost what you speak of. I have a 10.5" Noveske barrel, ASA side charge upper, pistol gas system, TP555 3 way gas block (hi/low/off), a YHM free float tube, and a YHM 7.62 suppressor. I switch the gas block to full open for subs, restricted for supers, and off if I want to be as quiet as possible. The non-reciprocating ASA side charger means I can use my support hand to work the action with the gas turned off and never remove my firing hand provided I'm on a rest or bi-pod. It's a great setup and I have fun with it.
BTW, my TP555 gas block didn't require any filing to get under the YHM free float tube. I'm using the mid-length customizable version. I did drill out a hole over the adjustment point on the gas block to make switching gas settings easier.
