Sorry, my mistake! I see now that you didn't change the pronunciation. I assumed, once I saw the template after your edits, that you had improved it's functionality, because I saw a lot of differences in the examples compared to what I've seen on actual word pages. Instead, it must be that very few of them use la-IPA, as seen in this search (6,563 pages matched) (compared to about 3,000 that use la-IPA), and so there are differences in how they are rendered. I think I've seen pages that translate ⟨ae⟩ as /aj/ not /ae̯/, which becomes confusing because the latter is used by the template but not used elsewhere.

Would it be possible then to have all Latin pages use la-IPA, so that precise IPA is given for them? I think that would make it much more consistent, and short vowels are the main thing that would be improved. The template should work for >90% of cases, but words like maior need to actually look like maijor.
