A breath specialist helped me solve my chronic hyperventilation by teaching me how to re-train my system to need less air and have longer inhales and exhales. How about using this type of breathwork (in conjunction with what you mentioned) to train a lower RHR?

That is indeed possible! Shallow and short breaths tend to be accompanied by a higher heart rate and vice-versa. I actually wrote about how we don’t actually breathe properly in a more recent posts. Comparing mouth vs noise breathing, which also plays a huge role in overall health.
