The thing I'd be concerned about is the tune being identified as non-stock due to an unknown checksum, but that subject hasn't come up in a while and I never saw anything conclusive.

The Technician conducting the smog check/inspection may or may not identify any non CARB certified parts, such as catalytic converters. It also depends on the algorithms built into the test console software to detect a modified PCM such as what a Jaguar main dealer can detect.
If there are no pending or permanent DTCs stored, the vehicle may pass with the modifications the OP mentions. If not, hopefully it can be returned to the factory default parameters for a retest.

I just had my wife's Cayenne smogged last week and asked the owner of the smog shop [test only] what his opinion was on my tuned F type. He told me that he has had four or five tuned cars fail since the law went into effect [none were F types]. They all rolled back the tunes and subsequently passed. He also mentioned that he has absolutely no control over the process what-so-ever.
He suggested I do the same [plus drive the car for a hundred miles or so after the de-tuning to reset]. Mine's not due until '26 so I am not sure I'll even have the car by then [although it must be smogged when sold].

Restore original file, drive a bit (a few trips, some miles, some start/stop), stay out of the high-throttle/high-rev zone to avoid an overboost CEL, pass the test, and Bob's your uncle. Oh, and check that you don't need to do a battery reset afterwards.
