>homemade SCART RGB->YUV
>with pass through feature which includes switchable termination resistors
I just use a SCART TV and the converter is connected between.

>it has bad squishing that I can't fix in the service menu
What kind of squishing?
If there would be vertical lines at the edges would get deformed, then this would be pincushion distortion and it should be adjustable on a big TV.
If there would be horizontal lines at the edges would get deformed, then it can't be really fixed. But it's only a issue that big Trinitrons larger than 20" get because smaller Trinitrons are usually deeper and don't have this (along with the lack of pincushion settings).
If you meant that the colors go apart, then this bad convergence. It's not possible to make it perfect, same applies to the geometry in general.

>I was looking into modding that, assuming it would be cheaper than a RGB Scart -> Y/Pb/Pr converter.
Schematics and the service manual would be nice. Maybe you could turn that component input into a (SCART) RGB input by setting it in the service menu.

>I've also been thinking about just making my own, like pic related, and installing them into my consoles then adding component output RCA jacks.
I made my own SCART RGB to component converter for using it with an USB capture device, and it works really good.
It features switchable termination resistors for pass-through and even a direction switch (the arrow implies in which way the signal travels) so i can plug in it in any way i want.
Future upgrades would be a improvement of the RGB preamp and clamp, VGA support, LEDs for the positive and negative power rail.
However, could list what consoles you have. It's not like all have the same video output circuits.

>I just need the schematic
I would recommend that you build your own converter like i did. You will need good video OpAmps (these aren't cheap but are very fast and precise), specific resistors, video clamps (CMOS analog switch will do) and a sync separator (LM1881+CVBS preamp is what i used).

>I even could etch my own PCBs at work.
That's great anon, but a RGB to component circuit isn't that complex.
