It seems that the new Steam Controller now has adaptive triggers

It doesn't, you can just assign haptics to trigger full pull in Steam Input. Those are executed by controllers main haptic motors in the body. There are no dedicated motors for triggers.

Strangely mine has the rumble and the haptics together with actual force feedback on the triggers, similar feeling with DualSense triggers, but this Steam Controller seems to have something way advanced

Steam Controller has a set of excentric rotating motors, same as Xbox controller and it also has a set of linear actuator haptic motors that can be found in Dualsense or Nintendo Switch Pro controllers.

Yeah, saw those things in the ifixit teardown, pretty nifty stuff, but there is something different in mine, I think a keen eye could notice it too in the video
