About the firemaking gloves, have you considered stacking 20 logs in a beacon yet? Technically you're lighting 1 item, which gives like 1.5-2k exp on a normal server. (which could be 6-8k on a pvp world). If you do that 1200 times the brawling gloves could last till 99 fm. Because it takes long for them to extinguish it may be worth combining this with normal firemaking.
