"Surprisingly, yes. No stovepipes, no failure to feed, no hangups, great ejection (back and to the right this time). It did take me the better part of a box of reloads to get anything on paper. I need to hold down and to the right to hit the black. <shrugs>. "

I sez, why is it a surprise? There are/were thousands of 8" bbl 9mm lugers that shot just fine(we call them artilleries).

You are a good machinist and know the luger well, so I would have been surprised if it did NOT
function well! JMHO.

Now you just need to adjust the sights and you will be fine.
