And after it hardens, you can break it out with a screwdriver at a shallow angle and a few taps with a hammer. You’d only need to do that if/where the wire goes from one sheet to the next.

I’d go for an epoxy there. Something like Latapoxy or one of the PC series. It’s not in an area that’s going to see much abuse. Thinset mortars don’t hold too well to the glazed tile surface.
