Not necessarily "wrong way" - just not generic enough to work for all options.

You set 8 options here, two of which are already done on GuiEnter
instead of when the .vimrc file is first read. So, somewhere along
the way, you must have found out about this problem, and the GuiEnter
work around.
You chose not to use GuiEnter for the *other* 6 settings, because they
worked. But, short of trial-and-error or very in-depth knowledge,
this isn't a great solution. Using GuiEnter for everything is easier
and less error-prone.

In your case, no, you've already special-cased the 2 that need it. In
general, though, it's safest to set all GUI options inside one or more
GuiEnter autocmds. Which means, really, that it's easiest to just use
a .gvimrc - you can think of a .gvimrc as just a file that gets
:sourced from a GuiEnter autocmd; it's basically equivalent.
