'Do you think these piece values will work smoothly with Joker80 running
under Winboard F yet remain true to all three models?'

Yes, I think these values will not conflict in anyway with any of the
hard-wired value approximates that are used for pruning decisions. At
least not to the point where it would lead to any observable effect on
playing strength. (Prunings based on the piece values occur only close to
the leaves, and engines are usually quite insensitive as to how exactly
you prune there.)
