Appreciate the heads up and have followed this path. I did my first-ever HDPE back in May and experienced a little bit of brake shudder late in afternoon day 1 sessions and all day 2 sessions. I'm on RS29's + stainless lines + DOT4 fluid now and have my second-ever HDPE this weekend. I'm not an advanced track driver (yet), but hopeful I don't experience any rotor issues.

The deposits were so bad that it felt like I warped the rotors.
Based on advice from this board, I upgraded to Pagid RS29s for my next track days. Much to my chagrin, the new pads did not immediately cure the problem. However, I'm pleased to report that the problem is finally resolved. In fact, over the past few weeks, I've had very smooth brakes both on track and off the track. In fact, yesterday I switched back to OEM street pads and my brakes are super smooth.
Take my advice and don't run OEM pads on track with the M2. The pain of resolving the issue I had took way too long.
