and it therefore this concept is not just a "theory" of Professor Agus

Just 1 caveat.  The Yershalmi was redacted about 350 CE.  The minhag EY that
Ashkanzim follow is about 200-300 years later.  That is how Kallir is more
of an influence on Ashknea [circa 580] than the Yershalmi per se

Also Siddur Rav Amram Gaon is a major source as per Rabbeinu Tam via Ta
Shma....
