> I am still curious about the rationale behind & historical origin of some doctrines (e.g., some Marian dogmas, like perpetual virginity)
For this topic, I would recommend "Behold Your Mother: A Biblical and Historical Defense of the Marian Doctrines" by Tim Staples.
> I’m wondering if I could get any recommendations on authors with similar conversion experiences. Someone who began as a Protestant philosopher and became Catholic & who chronicles their experiences.
"Return to Rome: Confessions of an Evangelical Catholic" by Francis Beckwith is the perfect book for you. The description of the book is the following:
 
"What does it mean to be evangelical? What does it mean to be Catholic? Can one consider oneself both simultaneously? Francis Beckwith has wrestled with these questions personally and professionally. He was baptized a Catholic, but his faith journey led him to Protestant evangelicalism. He became a philosophy professor at Baylor University and president of the Evangelical Theological Society (ETS). And then, in 2007, after much prayer, counsel, and consideration, Beckwith decided to return to the Catholic church and step down as ETS president.
This provocative book details Beckwith's journey, focusing on his internal dialogue between the Protestant theology he embraced for most of his adult life and Catholicism. He seeks to explain what prompted his decision and offers theological reflection on whether one can be evangelical and Catholic, affirming his belief that one can be both. "
