I know the BC idea is supposedly safer as there is no connection to the
metal base of the bulb as there is with ES, but the ES ones also do not
spontaneously drop on your head due to failure of one of the bayonet slots
after 10 years being cooked by the bulb either.

I want a nice even warm white 100mm globe, as before. Any
suggestions?

That looks like what I want. Except for being ES. Are ES pendant bulb
holders now easy to get? Same sort of design as BC ones? I'd like to keep
the lampshade. TLC only do brass ones, and it's not clear if they have the
same lampshade fitting.

I've just looked on ebay auctions and see this:

It's 5 incandescent 50mm 100W pearl bulbs, which might do instead of
your 100mm one. Hurry, only 1 day to go!
