Good. It seems very plausible. And how about suffix -lo in vetulus (cf. vetus, veteris) and -ro in wether.

*wenh1-os/*wenh1-es-os : *wenh1-eto- (maybe *wenh1-tos, analogically shifting to -etos?)
*wet-os/*wet-es-os : *wet-eto- or *wet-to- : *wet-(e)lo : *wet-(e)ro
*g^enh1-os/*g^enh1-es-os : *g^enh1-(e)to-

As a matter of fact, Jens Rasmussen speculates that *-esto- itself is
analogical as well, and that the original adjectival derivatives of
es-stem nouns ended in *-eto- (parallelling *s ~ *t alternations found
elsewhere). Cf. Skt. namas- 'homage' vs. Gaul. nemeton 'holy place'
(*nem-es-, adj. nem-et-o-). If so, an older PIE *wenh1-et-o- was
replaced by "dialectal" *wenh1-es-to- (because of *wenh1-es-), and of
course in the immediate ancestor of Latin *wenesto- was influenced by
the vocalism of *wenos, yielding *wenosto-.
