Is there any way (script/addon/etc) to automate AEL/FE lock with half pressed shutter button every single shot?
99.99% of the time I use central focusing point and this feature can be very helpful to eliminate pressing [∗] every shot.

Try to learn back-button focus: reconfigure your half-shutter to AE lock, use AF-ON with your thumb for AF.
Takes a day to get used off it, but now you basically can keep your camera in AI-Servo, and you will never come back ;)

You want to have your half-shutter to be "AF Start & AE lock on AF success". This indeed can't be achieved on stock FW, not sure if ML can help (is ML able to get "focus" event).
Too many Canon cameras.
If you have a dead R, RP, 250D mainboard (e.g. after camera repair) and want to donate for experiments, I'll cover shipping costs.
