I have a bltouch clone which work fine on glass bed. After switching to textured PEI sheet, it's variance trippled to 0.1mm, which make my bed mesh all wobbly.

I'm I suppose to remove the steel plate when making the bed mesh? Do you home Z with a probe with this setup?

The weirdest thing is, despite all this all my prints adhere completely fine. I guess PEI is just that good.

What printer are you using? 100 microns variance is probably within the margin of error for your printer's z height. My rule when 3d printing is to not worry about it until something goes wrong.
