Like an idiot I had some walnut plywood cut and didn't consider the
grain direction on it so I'll need to apply some veneer over some
pieces.

Haven't used veneer in a while and when I did it was self adhesive
stuff I believe.

But on material without backing, what is the absolute best way to go?

Contact cements are hit and miss -- there are some good professional
ones though.

I have some 3M hi strength 90 spray (damn good) (but edge cleanup?)

Also have some 3M 468 transfer tape at my disposal I could use.

I know with the 3M 90 it will stay put but concerned about cleaning
the excess adhesive.

The size of the veneer and the thickness is going to come into play.
I typically use regular wood glue when I veneer. But, I typically don't
work with large pieces. The trick is to get the "whole" surface clamped
with adequate uniform pressure.

A contact adhesive may be a better or easier choice as the glue sets up
quickly and using a roller to press the entire surface to ensure complete
contact would replace clamping the entire surface for an hour or more.
