A v20 firm has put me through 3 rounds of interviews with about 12 people in the group. The main partner wants to talk to me a 3rd time now and my recruiter tells me the interview is over and now it’s just discussion, what’s it going to take for me to make the move. I have a few concerns that I wouldn’t raise on an interview (such as, I’m 7 years experienced in x y z but this firm does a b c, which is similar to x y z, but still not the same). I’d learn fast but also nervous. Do I bring this up?

Don’t phrase it like that. Say your experience is x and you know it’s related to a. Ask what they’ve done in similar situations to help get people up to speed and/or ask for good resources

Is it a concern for YOU? What do you want them to say? They know what you have done before - they have asked you 12 times - and it’s not an issue for them; what is the purpose for you of bringing it up? If you like the firm and are not a junior, it sounds like a good match: join, “fake it till you make it” and be comfortable that they know.

And every discussion before you sign is an interview.

I am in the final steps of the interview process for an in-house position. I mentioned to the recruiter that I had unvested equity I would be leaving on the table. She said the company would take this into account and make me whole. She later asked for proof of the equity in the form of my account statement and balance, which I provided. I have not yet received an offer. Is it typical for companies to ask for this documentation if they don't intend to make the candidate an offer?
