I think canopy pieces should probably stay in the Windscreen group.
I can see putting the Space Nose and Space Cabin Base pieces in a Cockpit
group. There's not really any other place to stick them, AFAIK. Well, the
Space Cabin Base could go in the Bracket group. And it has some vague
similarities to the car chassis pieces.

I could see moving those pieces to an "Octagonal Domes" group. Otherwise,
they're probably well-placed for now.

Maybe. I personally sort these into the Wings group, but I don't expect
anyone else would understand that choice.

Don't even get me started on this piece.

Mostly agree, except maybe:

Actually, some of those boat bases and wedge bits make fine canopy base
parts. And the classic Space Cabin Nose Base fits the wedge pieces quite
well. So there is some synergy there. Not that I feel strong enough to feel
that those pieces should actually be moved to Cockpit.
