The fat we use to make fat bites out of is the solid fats from cuts of meat after we’ve rendered the liquid out. Those you can get crispy. The liquid fat you cannot get crispy and will always be liquid or if cooked down solidified as you’re witnessing. 
The only things you can do with that fat is drink it along with the broth, which you already said you don’t care for, use it for cooking such as frying meat or eggs. Be prepared though as that fat when using for frying will not be clean and the higher heat will case the impurities to sizzle and pop. Still tastes great though. To get those impurities out you could try filtering it through a coffee filter but that can be a slow and messy process.
About the only other thing you can do with it is feed it to your carnivore pets if you have any. 

Very good and should be required watching for anyone thinking about starting a keto/carnivore lifestyle.

Your seasoning could be flaking off depending on what you’ve seasoned it with. It won’t hurt you.
Unless I’m taking one down to bare metal I never touch mine with any kind of metal abrasive.
When I clean mine I do it immediately after I take the food out. I turn the heat up on the stove and get it really hot. In the meantime I’ve got the tap water heating up as hot as it will get. When the tap water is as hot as it will get and the pan is starting to smoke I dump the grease out and put it under the tab water and steam the food off. While it is steaming I use a wooden spatula to scrap and excess bits off. They clean up really easy. If I have some stubborn bits that I can’t scrape off with the spatula then I have a plastic scrubber I can use but I rarely need it. I then wipe the pan dry and put it back on the burner that I’ve turned off but it’s still hot and wipe it down with a thin coat of bacon grease or tallow if I know I’ll be using again in the next day or two but if I’m not going to be using that pan for awhile I’ll coat it with a little avocado oil.

They are fine if you are keto and if your body handles them well then go for it.
Just be aware that they can be one of the highest forms of oxalates there is so if you experience any kind of health issues it may be the nuts.

I don’t believe it’s an issue. Viruses like that don’t permeate the meat to the best of my knowledge. They are a contact virus so even if there was some of the virus on the steak it would be no different than a pathogen being on the steak as it would be killed on the outside of the meat by the cooking process. This happens every day around the world. Anything on the outside dies. You’ve probably eaten thousands of dead pathogens in your life. When trichinosis was and issue in pork we had to cook it thoroughly because it did permeate the meat but that wasn’t a virus and since it’s no longer an issue in the US we can now cook our pork medium rare and it’s so much better that way.
As long as you didn’t eat it raw then it would be no problem.
Ground meat is a different issue because anything on the outside of the meat would be mixed in throughout and if not cooked to 165° it could make you sick. The thing is that for that to happen with the avian flu that meat would have to be handled by someone who had the virus and had contact with the meat while being ground up. The odds of that are mighty slim. The standard flu that makes it’s way around the US every year never affects the meat market and I doubt if the avian flu will either.
I’ve only heard of a few people who have contracted the avian flu and they were in the dairy industry in direct contact with cattle that had been infected.
Any animal that is showing any signs or symptoms of any illness cannot be slaughtered for food and dairy cattle are pulled out of production if they are sick. Livestock is tagged and so they can be traced if there is any kind of outbreak that needs to be tracked and there was new legislation that was just passed that livestock being transported across state lines must be tagged with an electronic tag for easy identification.
I’ll continue to eat my steaks rare and my burgers medium. I ain’t skeered.
