Very nice, and I like your head canon additions.

As for the Magic removing, I don't think it was necessary. When the first DC was cast (well when Regina cast the DC, there is no knowing if it has ever been cast previously), Storybrooke appeared as a bubble in the LWM, taking on the characteristics of the LWM, including the the technological level. It was only when Rumple used the potion of True Love to restore magic that SB was able to be magical in an otherwise magicless land.

As for appearance, I might recommend one of those Glamour Gems that Robin and Zelena both have. When everyone appears in Storybrooke they all appear as human (and still do, for that matter). I don't remember all the details from 3B when everyone was back in the EF, but the Dwarves appeared to revert to their normal selves (though they don't look that different to begin with, so who really knows). We never saw the fairies or Jiminy, but I think Rumple (after ressurection) was his former gold scaly self (though I could be wrong. Someone slipped me a drink with a drop of water from the River Lethe XD). And 5a in Camelot only had the Dwaraves (see previous note on appearance) and Zelena with any possibility of appearing different, and Zelena could easily cover herself with either Glamour, or maybe just not being so danged envious and going back to her normal skin color.
