I only commissioned front cover art so I'd have to make something for the spine and back cover and it would not match his quality, and he's busy with commissions for the next 1.5 years.

I have also fallen into this trap. Eventually I commissioned a different artist to extend the original artwork. They did a good job, and people aren't paying as much attention to the back and spine (there's blurb overlaying the back of course) so the slight mismatch in style isn't too glaring unless you're actively looking for it. I hope.

Anyway lesson learned!

Annnnnnnd 3 days later, my hardcover is live. But I STILL can't ship a copy to Australia because apparently "the book is not available for Australian customers right now". WHHHHHHY???? It's a book! You can ship it anywhere!?!??!?! I do not get it.

As I understand it there are actually laws about this. I think the idea is to protect publishers in the country in question from being undercut by insanely cheap publications coming from outside the country? Or something like that?
