Yes.

I fitted a complete wheel (Talon hub, Excel rim). That way you get rid of the Yamaha cush drive at the same time.

I bought directly from Talon in the UK. If you buy a complete wheel from OTR, you're paying for Talon to build it, ship it to Germany, and OTR's margin, then (in my case) ship it back to the UK. I suspect the same would apply even shipping to Aus.

Swingarm clearance is fine. Mine's a bit tight, but only because I made the chain a couple of links shorter than I should have. There's plenty of room on the adjusters for me to do this.

The 'right' gearing is 15/48 to match the stock 15/45 on a 17". I've got 15/50. I will be changing it when the current ones wear out.

It does of course affect seat height a bit.

If you do go with the complete Talon wheel, you need a disc for a KTM 690E, not an SX/EXC. The pattern is the same, but the size is wrong.
