My daughter's house has a room with a vaulted ceiling in one room. It is
rather hopelessly lit with a couple of wall lights and a couple of Gu9
lights at one end of a couple of joists near the apex.

We had thought of replacing the GU9 lamps with some suspended pendants.

Currently the twin and earth goes into the GU9 fittings which I would
remove.

How would you suggest I make a connection between the T&E and one or two
flexes for the pendants? Would a Wago do it properly - in an enclosure. Or
should I extend the T&E to a ceiling rose in the centre and take the
pendants from that?

Ceiling rose.

I should have said - the surface with the T&E is the angled back face of a
joist, and I may want two flexes to two pendants (each)

Either, whatever looks best? Wago lever would be fine for the connection
but chocolate blocks might be slightly smaller. Assume you would use
plastic lampholders. Need suitable strain relief if you are planning
catinaries of flex.

I'd use ceiling roses. They provide strain relief for flex. And are also
designed to look ok - unlike most other enclosures.
