Per your own argument, the replaced values are just initial values and
you should fairly quickly get some interrupt to start moving the
threshold up or down. I don't think your argumentation expresses
adequately why this "does not really scale well" and why your new values
happens to work better.

As soon as we get the first interrupt, these values would be adjusted to
the bandwidth of the surrounding opp pair. So why is the /4 needed in
this initial state?

Your underlying reasoning, to remove the hard coded initial values,
sounds very reasonable to me.
