As for evidence of pronunciation shift, I noticed that the Byzantine
tradition of texts of the New Testament preserved some indications in the
transliterations of names that a shift in pronunciation had occured and come
almost to completion. By the time of the texts that Nestlé is based on, that
pronunciation shift was finished and those NT texts were cleaned up to
reflect that.


Hold on a minute. The Byzantine MSS are *LATER* than "the texts that Nestlé is based on", and so if reason for the differences is a pronunciation shift, this shift is from the "Nestlé" pronunciation to the Byzantine one. The shift must also be dated after the 4th century CE and so outside the time period we are discussing.
