Default dynex dux eye splice

I'm new to the forum and apologize if this has already been discussed. My 30' boat is in Tahiti and I'm in California for a couple of months. I'd like to bring back some spare rigging in case the existing fails and be able to replace it by myself, maybe in the ocean, if necessary.

A couple of weeks ago I started searching and found out about dynex dux. It seems like a good solution on paper, but line terminators are thicker than the shroud tang opening.

Does anybody see a problem with dynex dux made with an eye splice on a clevis pin and a turnbuckle/shroud tang instead of line terminators?

Here are a couple of pictures of the existing rigging on the boat:

The wire is 316 7/32" 1x19 on lower and upper shrouds, and 1/4" ss 1x 19 on forestay and backstay.

What kind of dynex dux rope would you recommend for a replacement and/or emergency?

Also, there have been pictures of dynex dux rigging from this site that showed ss thimbles on a clevis pin. Is this a better option than an eye splice? Why or why not?

Many thanks!
