On one hand, meditation makes you less impulsive and gives your thoughts less control over you in the moment but on the other hand it seems like you'd actually want to be impulsive as an overload of bad emotions at the time of CTB would make you desperate enough for SI to no longer work and increased mood from meditation might make me fool myself into thinking "meditation is making me feel better so actually things will get better in the future"

In my opinion and experience, CBT should never be spontaneous or only possible when you feel especially horrible. It should be something that you're extremely comfortable with, and something you genuinely want more than staying alive at all times. The only time I could see a benefit is if you're using an especially agonizing method, otherwise you're better off taking a calm and collected approach to make sure you're doing everything correctly.
