Theoretically yes, but I think that falls into the category of "Only a master-level Biomancer is going to try it." It's one thing to do rejuvenat treatments and cosmetic enhancements a la that research option we gained, it's a bit more intensive to take wildly varying humans and turn them all into permanent near-peak-human or above conditions.

Give it to me straight how many will choose to look like Cain.
To give a point of comparison and add onto @Sir_Travelsalot 's point, an "average" Murder Servitor is a roughly even match for a fully loaded Space Marine battle brother.

Ehhh. I'd say a third of males with his hair colour would use it as a template?
This is starting to sound like asian idol band shenanigans.

Is it possible for us to reach the level of mastery in biomancy like we reached in case of our primary? Also are we trying to create Temple Calix psykers?
Is it possible to get our hands on more esoteric lore?

Honestly I'd go for either the Brotherhood of Kel or the family. We don't need energy weapons when we're telekines with access to gravity manipulation, and frankly it's less risk. The Akella Cartel is a source of trainers, but aside from that...do we really anything from them? I value better equipment or more recruits more, especially when we can go work with the arbites for training later

Working with the Arbites requires us to send our people out into the city beyond and chase, fight, and capture assorted enemies.
If we can train our people to a higher standard before doing that kind of thing, we really should.
And you knock training a bit, but keep in mind Akala provides bodyguard services and muscle to almost all levels of Imperial society on this planet, both legal and not. So long as we vet jobs beforehand to keep our noses clean, we can do a lot of for-dummies socializing, schmoozing, and other "learn how to put a lid on the crazy" skills alongside people who are arguably the best equipped of the four to keep our dudes in line.

1: Perhaps, but it would require dedicated focus.
2: what you're trying to make is a group like the Calix Templars. Only instead of melee guardians, it's a type of highly trained shock troop.
3: Esoteric lore for days.
Autoguns and shotguns are definitely not given a lot of respect in the Imperium and hence tend to be very underrated in terms of development and the like.
Anyone who's played Dark Heresy and used a fully kitted out Autogun could tell you just how scary a high grade Autogun/shotgun with a modifications or two and special ammunition is.

So was it any wonder that it would also be affected by mankind's psychic awakening?
Said to be created by a psyker and a Ratling, and called the bastard offspring of biomancy and psy-artisanry by those overly critical of the psychic arts they aren't exactly wrong in their assertions. By using basic biomantic abilities combined with careful ritual like actions a properly trained psyker can make meals of supernatural quality and effects.
It is said the most basic act of gourmetomancy is the biomantic power of increasing the nutritional and protein content of a meal. While this is a basic ability a biomancer as to become near universal gourmetomancers go a step further. They, provided enough effort, can make dishes that cause rapid regeneration, snacks that increase physical strength, or literal brain food.
There are three known and widely accepted factors that influence this psychic discipline. The skill of the psyker, the ingredients, and, what many consider to be the most important, the emotional state of the psyker when working. A psyker with the wrong midset while cooking can completely alter the end results of the meal turning a healing dish into a deadly poison. While the psyker's skill as a chef or the quality of the ingredients can enhance the effects of a meal the mindset is what ultimately determines the outcome according to various psyker scholars.
Of course despite all the benefits of this psychic discipline it remains a rarity for one simple reason. Very few people are willing to eat a meal prepared by a psyker regardless of the potential benefits.
A.N: I did a silly let me know what you think.
The secret ingredient is contempt.

It is said that cooking is one of the oldest inventions of mankind coming right after the advent of fire. It has started wars with the desire for new tastes and pushed the advancements of mankind forwards as a result. ~Primaris Psyker Jurgen Goresay.

Just a few questions about this:
Furthermore, can we expect such abilities to improve overtime or is this written with the expectation that this is already the limit of what they can be expected to achieve barring some unusual circumstances?
Will the Choirs be able to use these abilities concurrently or will they have to pick and choose between them?

Im on board with either tbh. If we go with the Cartel, then we (potentially) get veterans of real wars to train our shock troops, which could be very helpful, and if we go with the Brotherhood we get cool future guns(or maybe not that futuristic, considering the 1911 is still in service 28,000 years later)

I'm hopeful that after we get Akala and talk to the Brotherhood in the next round after that, we can get caseless ammo weapons. In 40k years autoguns will have to have gone through several iterations, and while I'd expect superior propellant and whatnot even with cased ammo, I'd prefer features that actually demonstrate "yeah we grew up and surpassed our forebears on a revolutionary, not merely evolutionary, level" from somebody touted as making artisanal handguns.
Whether cased or caseless, one thing I'd expect to see is propellant gradients - successively higher stages of burn rates to increase velocity as it travels down the barrel while still keeping final muzzle velocity high, so we can have bigger guns for the same recoil.
