OEM brake pads can squeal, there’s a Porsche sponsored video explaining why it happens. So it’s totally normal you’ve been bitten by something normal.

Rotors are find for a new pad set. Google brake bedding to minimize and/or prevent squeal. OEM pads should be fine for your first couple of track sessions, but they will quickly wear out. As mentioned Pagid yellows are a popular track pad. PCA requires the pad thickness to be equal or greater than the backing plate for the track. That's plenty of pad for street driving before your brake sensor contacts. Brake sensors are zipped tied or cut off and soldered for the track. The track temps can melt the sensor. Just warrantied a second set of front Sebro slotted rotors with FCPEuro. Shipping was $58.

Jurid is also OEM. I have them on my 991.2. Horrible brake dust and squeal. I must try the bedding in process but nothing will help with the dust.

It's a real pity akebono doesn't do 991 pads. I had them on my Honda S2000 and loved them! Will probably go with Hawk when these are done.
