re: Welp. Deadlifts got my back. Now what?

I like the idea of just using KBs, which kinda eliminates the possibility of over extending
my problem with DLs is that since I lack flexibility, I have to bend my knees too much to get to the ground, which causes me to over extend to get past my knees
It's feeling better this morning. Just kinda tight, which I expect is from my workout Sunday in which I did a lot of hyper extensions and weighted hip thrusters
I'll probably do another work out like on Thursday and then maybe bump it to MWF next week and see how I stand then

Salmon, I'd suggest getting a work up by a sports or exercise minded chiro or PT. The Supple Leopard book will have some common faults and mobility fixes for your (what sounds like) functional limitations.
Medical management for these types of conditions (if not surgical or injection warranted) is not typically best for active minded individuals. Pain killers and/or anti-inflammatories help in the short term but rarely are the long term fix. They do have natural pain and anti-inflammatory injections as well as dry needling, ART, & Graston technique which could be helpful.
You want to rule out anything major first though I do agree with a previous post. Having xrays, MRIs, etc in a full workup might be warranted depending on the history and exam.
It's also been my experience that people who are as active in a gym like yourself or others on this board benefit tremendously from having these types of physicians at their disposal for possible future acute injuries as well as maintenance and preventative care to limit these occurrences.
Hope you feel better soon

I've always gotten the impression you are the long-limbed type, especially in the legs. That makes you a little less suited to deadlifts, and often limits getting properly in the bottom position.
Also, frick touch and go deadlifts - they hurt even technically sound lifters.
What's your training goal? There is no requirement to deadlift, you can attain posterior chain excellence with other movements. Ultimately, I think RDLs will help you, since your leg length won't be a limiting factor.
FWIW, I switched over to strictly RDLs around 33, after a few years doing traditional deads. Once a month, I work up to a heavy double, never reaching what I'd call a true max. After two years, I haven't lost more than about 5-10lbs on this double despite only hitting full deadlifts once a month.
