Are there other noncompliant things in the matplotlib ps output that
you are aware of, other than those you already fixed?

I think the horrible ones are fixed by now.
Minor issues:
The DSC spec states (at page 18): "If there is a section in
the document that corresponds to a particular comment, that comment
*must* be used to identify that section of the document."
From reading this I would guess that all the "/something { ... } bind
def" statements and the included fonts should be inside a
%%BeginPrologue
%%EndPrologue
block. But I didn't check this properly.
Then page 19 "strongly suggests" to use some headers like
"%%CreationDate" and "%%Title".
Page 70 of the SDC specification states that "%%BeginFont" and
"%%EndFont" are outdated and should be replaced by "%%BeginResource"
and "%%EndResource" statements.
All the best,
Jochen

It would be nice if they would update their documents, since the %%BeginFont and %%EndFont keywords are from their document about embedding fonts.
