The only other thing I could think of is, *if* you're looking for a swing feel at letter G, to write it in eighths with a marking saying "swing" instead of triplet subdivision. Up to you ofc but to me it's a lot cleaner to look at.

I actually edited the score pretty heavily this morning and changed even some of the notes and markings. I changed it to just labeling that section “swing” written with regular eighths because I had a similar thought, but I ended up going back for the same reason I initially nixed the idea—I think I like it with the triplets notated because it feels more exact. I appreciate the comment though, and I ended up keeping the label “moderate swing” for that section for what it’s worth.

The other reason it's probably a decent idea to keep it there is that classical players with not a lot of experience playing swing might appreciate having the subdivisions laid out for them. Not a bad move at all, either way works!
