I have not looked in detail the source code, but the ST algorithm seems to be really good. I looked in detail the current curve on phase 1 and the corresponding hall transition, it's really perfect, on all torque request, low or very high
I know the algorithm just use a state observer principle, it use the vbus measured voltage, alpha/beta measured currents, and alpha/beta phases voltages (not measured but with PWM value associated with vbus voltage).
It also needs the phase resistance and inductance, but I have not seen big difference in sensorless performance with differents values but same motor.

I also understood the FOC, but don't want for know to try by myself

-8V is good, and even mandatory for voltage > 150V, to avoid autoconduction.

Interesting, I looked some week ago on all manufacturer but I haven't find such an igbt !! You don't want to give its reference ?
