I just did a set of cases where I installed Festool Systainer drawers. They used 5mm screws in the 32mm system holes. I'm now doing another shop cabinet using the 32mm system with conventional wood drawers. Do drawer guides like Grass accommodate 5mm screws and are they intended to go in the system holes? From looking at the KISS2 pdf, it looks like you can use the system holes.

Should be able to on either the epoxy slides our the under mount. I'm positive on the epoxys, I'd be very surprised if the under mount didn't.

Personally, I don't trust just two screws in the long run, 5mm hold really well, but it's still just two load points.

I found a spec for the Grass Dynapro guides. They had a hole at 37mm and the holes are 1/4" or 6.3mm in diameter. It looks like they should work fine. I haven't started the cabinet so I'll probably just buy them and do some fit tests. They also called for 16mm drawer sides. I was all set to do 1/2"
