Brake status will not affect your Limp home mode issues.. That was probably caused by oil temp issues... but that is a whole other story.
No. The car went into limp mode because of the brakes over-heating. I didn't even know our cars have a way to monitor this (sensor in the brake fluid maybe?), but the dealer confirmed multiple times that that's what they saw in the computer.

I doubt that the stock brake shims are on your pads if they clunk.. ( but i could be wrong, but they were a bear to get into the caliper with the stock plate and the oem plate so i think you would know ) Did you install them or did a shop ????
I installed them.

Now we have to clarify what shims you mean?
The stock pads had a thin shim clamped to the back that came off fairly easily and straight. Then the pads had another backing plate glued on the back that I could not remove without bending the crap out of.
