Now I need to get the dishwasher ready to install. Whoever removed it simply cut off the factory plug, so I bought a replacement plug. Worse, they cut the rubber drain hose flush with the dishwasher chassis - idiots! - so I need to splice in another length of hose. I think I'll try draining into the existing kitchen sink drain and not installing a floor drain unless I have to. I really don't like plumbing - something about it doesn't click with me.

Dang, I hope after all this the dishwasher actually works. I wasn't able to test it and for $250 it was an "as-is" sort of purchase.

It is a stunning heavy unit. I'll need helpers just to get it into the house.
50a 220v GFI breaker are pretty easy to find. Talk to the folks that sold you the sub panel. They should be able to local one for you. All you mentioned is fine.
