I run into these kinds of semantic issues all the time with chord symbols. We just don't have the language necessary any more to describe what we need to.
But don't forget that it's a living language, and keeps changing as the music it describes keeps changing. I understand why you were puzzled with your 4th chords (some of my favorite voicings for singers, especially with the major 3rd on top as in your bar 2), but I agree with your decisions. Sometimes I just write the voice parts as I want them, and then figure out what I want the rhythm section to see in order to fit in and support it.
