This configuration seems to work okay,
but is this really the optimal configuration? For more sensitive detection
of lift during self-launching, would it be better to switch the vario/s TE
input from tail TE to cockpit or fuselage static, and forgo switching
either pitot or static to the 302?

If it were my glider, I'd always run the 302 off the nose pitot and
fuselage static, using the 302s (excellent) electronic total energy
compensation. The Tasman would always be connected to the TE probe, and
just ignored when the engine is running. There is no need to add the
complication of pneumatic switches...
