I am familiar with your excellent photography and look forward to your future soft-focus work. About shutters - so many old shutters are terribly inaccurate that I try to find one shutter speed that is consistent in each shutter and stick with it. Packard shutters in 'I' mode are consistent enough, but indeed they do seem klunky.
Late model Imagons have decent-to-very good shutters. We recently had a long thread about Imagons and I think there was fair consensus that the 200mm is adequate for 4x5 and by your work it seems you will be working with enough bellows extension to make it work. Maybe we can review that possibility.
