Sounds like a plan.

I don't think the pedal moves an inch on mine before the brakes start engaging.

I'd at least start with an inspection of the MC, lines, calipers, and pads to make sure everything looks good (no leaks or super worn pads).  If nothing jumps out at you, maybe you can get away with a good bleeding.

Good Luck.

I have always wondered about my brakes. I should probably fix those before I get my rims and tires.

Sounds like the rear adjusters not
taking up the slack

Have you been using your emergency brake?? It keeps the rear brakes adjusted.
