Answering the question around REST API support, Dataflow Gen2 with CI/CD support now has endpoints through the Fabric REST API. You can use either the Dataflow endpoints:
Items - REST API (Dataflow) | Microsoft Learn
Or use the Fabric core endpoints:
Items - REST API (Core) | Microsoft Learn
As mentioned before, Dataflow Gen2 doesn't have REST API support. Power BI Dataflows (also known as Gen1 Dataflows) do have REST API support and its generally available.
Adding to the experience, Dataflow Gen2 with CI/CD support also has Multitasking support so you could have multiple Dataflows open at the same time if needed
We plan to go GA with Dataflow Gen2 with CI/CD support really soon, so I'd encourage you to perform any comparisons against Dataflow Gen2 with CI/CD support.
smpa01 Dataflow Gen2 with CI/CD is now Generally available. SPN support was rolling out during the past few days, but it is now available as well and is reflected in the documentation as well.
