Also after getting more of the picture, With sound bores and flanged sleeves you could be at .0005 to .001 for this.
What is the condition of the bores? Finished honed and straight? Yes good finish and straight, my concern when looking for pistons from the big engine builders, they said they never go over standard (4.5) because when bored there’s not enough material left between the cylinders = blown head gasket. I guess they made throw away blocks. Then the other can of worms is if all 8 holes are sleeved how weak-thin will cylinders be then (Siamese block) I feel like I’m in no mans land. I have everything there for this engine waiting now in limbo. One other thought, can standard pistons be coated .030? Call Line2Line on coatings - max thickness, etc. Their website says thicknesses up to .020”.

In my opinion yes, you need some interference to transfer the heat. but your on the right track. You need the step to secure it.
I should have said if it slides in its not enough.

If the bore is 4.530...dead nuts. you need at least 4.5305. Nothing is perfectly round to the tenths.
Fixed bore number......

I would be putting the step at the top not at the bottom if you are staying close or at your 4.53 step at the bottom, bore needs to be 4.63 our more to leave a substantial enough step. There’s a set of 4.60 (another .035 off each wall) (time to sonic those walls I guess) pistons on flea bay cheap but I’m afraid to bore that big, sealing on deck between cylinders and wall thickness. Maybe o-ring with copper gasket would hold.
