The biggest thing I see is the fire alarm cable. What size is that? Looks tiny.

Do they not sell T+B bakelite 4" square deep junction boxes (screw on type with no bracket) north of the Mason Dixon line?

That's how I would do it, but I guess the more correct way to do it would to leave the transformer mounted on the outside of the box with the line side wiring on the inside like a doorbell transformer.

I've often thought that small transformers were probably less of a fire hazard inside the box than outside, except that the cover should be vented for heat dissipation. However, without a barrier your install is a violation, so no matter how the fire started you are on the hook; for that reason (liability) I wouldn't do that. If you relabeled the transformer "class 1" and used nm for the LV side, I'd say it was compliant. I like the class2 transformers that have built in short ckt and overload protection.
