How is my squat form?
I'm worried my ass sticks out too much as I descend.
The motion is unnatural for me because I'm tall and inflexible.
It takes a pretty wide stance to get decent ROM.

How tall are you? Normally height wouldn't make a difference but I have seen a few people who are 6'5"+ and their squat just always looks "unnatural" maybe because of long torso/quads? Mostly work on mobility, you are too high on your reps but you have already established that. Your form isn't that bad you look like you hold your back tight, chest up etc. Try to work out your mobility blocks and I think everything will gradually become better.

Lower back pain for sure could be that over extended lumbar spine. I heard something along the lines of, once you break the hips on a low bar squat and you get about a 1/4 of the way through the rep your back angle should remain relatively the same until you finish the rep. You do have a tendency to over extended when you come out of the hole which could be a huge part of your lower back pain. Upper back pain is a little tougher to diagnose on the squat but you might have rolled shoulders (kyphosis).
