On macOS _NSGetExecutablePath could be used, but iiuc this requires linking against dyld. For other OSes we would also need more code. I doubt that this makes a lot of sense these days; but we should come up with a solution, even if that means we need an envvar to specify the location of that open gpgconf.ctl file.

On my new Windows 10 laptop I see a "Windows Hello for Business 1". Thus put everything with "Windows Hello" at the end of the list or skip unless a reader-port is set. IIRC there are device with "virtual" or "Virtual" in their name, they don't make sense for us either. I would also put devices with "SCM" or "Identiv" to the top of the list. In particular the substrings "SPR532" seems to identify the Identiv SPR332 which is what we use here and actualay a suggested reader for GnUPG VS-Desktop.

The LE web site has instruction on how to do this. However, it is complicated and depends on your system. The intermediate cert you listed is signed by the expired old root cert. If you remove this intermediate cert the other root cert will be found and we are done. The old LE certs had a 4 tier chain and the new one a 3 tier.
