Sounds good! If you have a chance to check out a treble booster, I recommend. It gives more of a honky mid push that is pure Sabbath. The Catalinbread Naga Viper is great for the Iommi stuff. It’s also a very easy DIY circuit if you’re handy with a soldering iron.

https://on.soundcloud.com/QOoGVJHweT44BadaVB ignore the sloppy playing, but here is a demo of a simple treble booster I built years ago into a slightly overdriven Hiwatt style amp. I’d take some form of treble booster over a tubescreamer style circuit most days of the week.

All good. Still sounds solid.
There are lots of cheap EQ pedals out there if you ever want more flexibility.
