Hi Rip, I go a great collection of Contax C/Y lenses too. I did neither Leitax nor chip them. I didn't see a point in those chips, the BM cameras have a pretty good visual indicator for focus and I don't trust those chips anyway.
I'm using them normally with adapters by K&F Concept and they work very well with my UMP 4.6K (1.gen). I don't have any other Canon lenses, but I use the Contax lenses with my Sony Alphas too, so I'm just changing adapters. I got some cheaper adapters by Beschoi and they are not too bad either.
And, yes, you are right about the smallest aperture being in green if it's an MM version.
My disaster protection: export a .drp file to a physically separated storage regularly.
