Really don't want to go to the hassle of putting vapour barrier boxes overtop of airtight boxes given the # of them....

Those kits are as close as you can get to the commercial spray foam and should work marvelously for you. You don't need to put supposedly in quotes, it forms a proper cocoon and hardens up nice as it's a two part. It's not the same stuff you get in spray cans.

Tip, have some acetone on hand cause it's messy and that is the only thing that gets it off your hands, face and anywhere else it accidently touches. It's like antiseize, you somehow just get it everywhere.
