Needing a bigger cap across yoke/flyback sounds to me like something wrong with the yoke or flyback.

Edit: I don't know what the H drive waveform should look like. Can you verify that it's the correct duty cycle? Is there a drive adjustment coil you can try?

I'll check this when I have time and get back to you. I'm hopeful that the yoke and flyback are ok as it could be difficult to find a replacement for either one. The picture mostly looks pretty good and everything seems stable, it has run for hours and nothing gets super hot or seems to drift over time.
