Great update btw, and I might be missing something, but I can't get text to wrap horizontally on the conical surface, see attached.

A strip of paper containing ABC 123 cannot wrap in the way you describe without wrinkling or distorting the paper. It needs to lay flat along the surface with no distortion. Therefore, any wrapping function like this that preserves the sketch will have this behavior. Otherwise you're asking the sketch to stretch to fit the underlying surface, which is not what 'Wrap' does.
All that being said, if you need this functionality, you should use the custom feature surface text.
I copied and updated your document as and example.
