In Dagestan that may not be actual Steppe though. They're very low in R1a/b. I think that may be due to their proximity to the Steppe as Dagestan is just south of Kalmykia.

It's a difficult question because they are mostly made of something that was part of the steppe (CHG like), but they might lack entirely the other parts (more EHG). So are they half, or zero because they don't have the other half...In the same way central Asian have the ancestral ANE but they lack what Steppe people acquired later going West.
It really comes down how we define the steppe exactly, as an addition of things or an indivisible component.

Depends on who you are comparing with. If you compare with Russians, Germans and other northerners, then you are right, Georgians are rarely depigmented in comparison with them.
If we compare with Ossetians, Dagestanis and Chechens, then no, they are not more depigmented than Georgians. This is confirmed by anthropological studies. Western Georgia (Imereti, Guria, Megrelia, Adjara, Svaneti) is one of the most light-eyed regions of the Caucasus.
