Yes, all of that math would be something that the Sun & Sky gadget does internally. I only included it to illustrate where the input that they missed - axial tilt - would fit into the process of calculating the sun position. Earth's axial tilt as the default value for the axial tilt input would also be a good idea - but you might want an exception to the rule that making the first wire connection defaults to modulate blend mode when the tweak has a non-zero value. As for date and time inputs, I assumed that the Sun & Sky gadget's date and time inputs would be numbers in the range 0.0 to 1.0. But remember that these Sun & Sky gadget improvements were first mentioned in the Trello item discussing a Time gadget for working with real world times. That gadget would probably have inputs for a 24 hour clock time and a Gregorian calendar date, which it would use to calculate outputs that can be wired to the Sun & Sky gadget's time of year and time of day. Considering this, keeping longitude and time of day separate would make sense.
