If I’m using 3/4 inch of foam for the base, do I leave the pavers out of the ground 3/4 inch, to match up with the foam floor?

Yes, you want the pavers flush with the foam. Looks like those pavers should be ok, never really seen anyone use them before. If you look in the masonary supplies aisle you will find the 8x16x4 half blocks at most big box stores.
You would have to get your measurements perfect. The legs kind of start on the front of the pavers and push back as you fill. That's why I worry a little about the octagon pavers, you may end up in the narrowest part when you fill the pool.

Or have the bottom track resting right on one of the corners, can’t be ideal.
I'm sorry, I thought you had a rectangular pool like mine. Those pavers should work ok I think. Maybe someone with more experience with round pools can chime in.
Thank you so much for your help! We went with the 4x8x16. ? I figure we might as well go with the tried and true.
HOLY COW THANK YOU THANK YOU
I have been searching everywhere trying to figure out where everyone gets the 4" thick pavers... I copied the 8x16x4 half block and LO AND BEHOLD it took me to them... Part of my problem.. is my bleeping store by me doesnt have them... But I did find them..
Again huge huge thanks
1 more question.. about how far do they push out?? I am going to set the pool up dry and then dig for the pavers (then i have exact spots, instead of guessing measurements) but how much "flex" should I allow
The legs kick out about a foot beyond the top rail. There should be a layout diagram floating around the forums here, I will see if I can find it. I assembled the top rail to locate the pavers roughly.
