Moving things to the staff context fixed both issues. Thanks a lot!

It is an unbreakable beam that is blocking things.  Your \override for
Beam.breakable applies only to the current Voice context.  When you
create the two new Voices within the << >> construct, neither will see
the overridden property.

You have a few options.  You can move the \override to the inner Voice
that has the problematic beam, or you can make the outer \override apply
to the Staff context instead:

%%%%
   \override Staff.Beam.breakable = ##t
%%%%
