An impressive list (one would wish to add Kuryl/owicz and Stang). A
honest remark would be that most of the _conceptions_ (not just laws)
behind those names (the correct spelling of one of which is of course
Endzeli:ns) are mutually exclusive rather than mutually completing.

Speaking seriously, as there are a number of theories connecting the
emergence of PIE /*o/ with the stress, why exactly the stressed root
could help /*o/ to be born in your opinion?
