The data collection for Skiba model is a pain as well. Regular T3000s, HR collection and time collections is a bit much, and you have already pointed out that HR collection during interval training is inaccurate. for the record, Skiba model doesn't require HR input at all. All threshold tests can be estimated using either Riegel's based DeKoninck's prediction formulas, or Monod's based CSS (critical swim speed).
I am an extremely pragmatic person. I am certainly going to give your model a try. If it can make you feel good about it, I'd say that increased simplicity would probably make it the best model available at this time for logging and tracking Base, or whatever the name you wish to give to work capacity.
Do you share an excel spreadsheet or something? Note that I can build my own too if you prefer.
