No there's no option you're missing or anything.

So one part of this is that this mod doesnt just switch the Texture of Stone, but also prevents the "connection that other objects normally make - which results in this gap.
Im not missing an option to re-enable this feature, right?

Care to elaborate?
One problem is the border of smoothed stone into fog of war. In vanilla, the smoothed stone has only one side and the other seemlessly integrates with the unsmoothed stone behind.
However, with this mod/these textures active, smoothed walls render as if they were standing alone, preventing this nice integration with the fog of war.

Tactical placement of smoothing

Is there a solution to how poorly (not at all) these textures interface with (smoothed) walls?

I'm unable to replicate this issue when removing my Better Mountain config. That said, I'm happy you found it.

I placed this mod later in my mod load order now. Looking at the options, the MO Ores were not turned on by default.

Shouldn't matter AFAIK. You just gotta scroll to the bottom. It's not under ores section, but modded ores section.

I'll check my load order
