Did you thought about using spawn bags instead of jars? Since Jars are difficult to find or sold out most of time(s). This bags should withstand PC temps easily. Using small jars is still a good way to start without PC. One it grows mycelia and colonized you can transfer to bigger bag(s). Having less risk to contamination. Coco coir can be pasteurized, so that might help expanding the flush.
maintain verm/flour/water ratio at all times for BRF tek

Ive done BRF in regular jam jars that worked fine. Some brands are wide mouth (no "shoulder" to the jar) but if you're crumbling to bulk anyway then it shouldn't matter much. You may also be able to find 8oz pp5 containers, like the kind you'd buy soups and sauces in. They're easy to make a hole in the lid and cover with MP tape.
There are plenty of options that while they may not be the most optimal, they can still work just fine for the purpose of getting a few trips.

Wait.. when you say regular mouth 1/2 pints, do you just mean the taller straight jars? Because that’s what comes up when I google “regular mouth 1/2 pint jars”.. it’s what I currently use

They work fine.. you don’t have to break the jar.. the cake slides right out. The biggest thing is making sure you use enough inoculate so that some gets down to the bottom of the jar.. if you only have the cultures start near the top, the jars can stall or start pinning before the bottom gets colonized

I think half pint regular mouth work fine as long as they don’t have a shoulder. Maybe slightly tougher to birth, but as long as they’re straight, you should be good to go just like with the wide mouth. Yes, there is a national shortage and the wide mouth half pints are impossible to find at a reasonable price.

Yeah ideally so it goes down to the bottom.. you can also help the liquid get down by kind of pulling the cake away from the jar wall slightly with a little pressure from the needle when you inoculate so the liquid drips down

I have the exact same ones because that’s all I could find. They are definitely straight. They are kind of a pain in the rear end because they are quilted and it’s hard to see through the glass.
Here is an example of a jar with a shoulder (I.e., not straight). It’s a pint jar but you get the idea. If there’s a shoulder, it’s harder to get the cake out all in one piece. If you’re going to shred it then it doesn’t matter but if you want to get it out in one piece, then you want to avoid shoulders. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07RKQ4JS3/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glc_fabc_wQo6Fb28JME2Y?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1

I’m guessing there are other containers you can use like cans. We were talking about the jars specifically. But it’s good to know what other kinds of containers people use, especially which ones can stand up to pressure cooking and other sterilization techniques. I just stick with the jars because they’re pretty standard-but given the shortage, may have to get creative in the future.
