But your interpretation of I:57 assumes that the Tarot as it stands in it's traditional form is already 'aright', aside from The Star needing a new name.
I'm curious how the 'aright'
Last Judgment card, complete with traditional imagery, fits into the scheme of the Thelemic Tarot?

That's not my position at all. I said that it makes grammatical sense to interpret the verse as requiring The Star be renamed. That says nothing about the other trump names.
Crowley noted that this part of the verse was in response to his internal question "do I have the attributions right?", since some trumps are mentioned just prior to this sentence. So the response of Nuit could be interpreted as;
All these old (Hebrew) letters of my Book (of Thoth) are aright, but (one of them), Tzaddi, is not (called) the Star.
Trump XVII could be renamed any number of things, that doesn't mean that the Angel or Last Judgment also need to be renamed.
That notwithstanding, other interpretations of the verse are also possible. But in defense of renaming The Star, it doesn't require reading an obvious statement such as 'ALL the letters are aright' to mean that two of the letters are wrong.
If the letters referred to are the Hebrew ones, then Occam's razor would say that they're all correctly attributed. If they're the Roman ones, the razor would say that the 'old' sequence of letters, i.e. key-numbers, is correct, not the new one learned in the Golden Dawn VIII-XI switch. Either interpretation would still allow for a renaming of The Star.
Crowley read it in his own way, and revealed his solution to switch letters, but I don't feel that that precludes other interpretations. I guess the point is, that IF the meaning of this sentence is to re-name the trump, it must be for a specific reason, not just for the sake of giving it another name. Obviously AC didn't need Nuit's 'permission' to rename the virtues and the Angel. And by renaming the trump to The Aeon and using an image of the Stele, he totally re-contextualized the meaning of that trump. In that sense a new name should have a context that makes use of that name. This is what I tried to provide in my essay. In the context of the GD Tree, I think a name like Stars or Galaxy would be more appropriate, if one insists on giving it a new name.
