Quick question, can this button be assigned to "AF-On"?

The only button you can use for AF-On is the ( * ) button. IMO I think the REC button would be a little cramped for your thumb (likewise the INFO button).

I've gotten used to the M5's location, but the camera just isn't big enough to put it in an ideal position like on the xxD and xD series. I'll have to see how it does with gloves on. I may have to stick a little rubber pad on it.

One nice thing about using BBAF is that whenever I pick the camera up I just (half) press the shutter button to start waking the camera up while I bring it up to shooting position. And it doesn't AF on my shoes! (I have Continuous AF disabled too).
