LEDs have come pretty far. You can get transformerless nowadays. Also look at wafer lights. Basically cut the hole and clip it in.

Yeah but i dont think i can with this ceiling. Woodchips as insulation on top of the LED? I dont think i want that. Maybe with a cup around it sure

Why would that matter? Anything rated for use in damp locations is going to be rated for insulation as well. Other than the logistics of not making a mess, there isn't going to be heat buildup.

I found many spotlights that were rated for bathrooms but needed alot of space, LEDs. Ive renod many bathrooms as a worker aswell and some needs cups. Thats why i didnt want to build them into this ceiling. But i think you are right, there prob are some that can handle wooden chips laying on them. Sounds scary tho

Spotlights are not the same as wafer lights. Either way you are looking for the IC stamp on the box.
