I am not convinced these 'P' mint marks are going to be all that. After looking at my set, I think a burnished field with the shinny portrait on the obverse, like the reverse proofs, would look better. Not sure what you could do the reverse to carry that look over. The sky? The water coming out of the bidet?

Nothing is sure with the Mint! My understanding is the same and since the Mint bought a new press in order to mint 3" round with edge lettering, I would bet that next year the pucks will be the same size.

Are they marked 5 oz.999 Au anywhere?

On the edge. Next year probably somewhere else and will also be shrinked.
edited to add: you meant Ag.

They look like play money.
