When the Rosh moved from Germany to Spain he kept most of his Ashenazi minhagim
and discusses his preference for Ashkenazi minhagim in detail.
It would also seem that his direct descendants also did at least for a while.
I am not sure if it is known how many generations his descendants kept
their ashkenazi customs.
Interestingly in mentioning various differences he does not list a
different accent as being one of the difference.
As to Rav Kook many assume his position is that changing pronunciation
leads to many mistakes and so does not apply to the next generation
that is brought up in EY
