Hi Titvs to answer some of your points First helmet your choice is fine however up until this point basically 66-75 AD the civil war that ensured some units had not seen much action also a high number of long term legionarys wearing old style kit with regional varations. This alone is a topic in its self .
Armour again any one of the corbridge A,B can be used along with mail and scale.
Sword again Mainz, Fullum,Pompeii again all used.
Helmet coollus, gallic and italic, and montefortino still being used as well but more like one of the first 3.
Cingulvm a single belt with apron. With a pugio plain or decorated.
Some of your other points, the eyebrows on helmets nothing to do with the Falx, started with the agen/port 1st BC and actually strengthens the dome. But still will not stop a falx blow.
Pilvm you are right no weight, but I disagree with any extra weight added, totally unnecessary. Lead or wood ball is right at the sweet point of throwing, having made a few as well as handling one of these weighted pila you can tell throwen from behind the weight you would get no distance.
Hope this has answered some of your points and good luck. If anyone else can add please post
