Those 1SMD LEDs will be plenty bright. On Cyclone especially due to its great light show, I tried to use LEDs as sparingly as possible. Colored incandescents look great when used in the Mystery Wheel in the backbox. Just enough color but you still retain that slow decay from the lamps. I believe you could use a LED-OCD board to retain the effects if you wanted to go full LED.
You might be able to use a little heat to smooth that decal out, possibly re-affix with some 3M spray adhesive.
They will work - but they turn on and off very quickly and to some people it is too jarring. It really depends on the game for me. Some games look great with the quick on/off of a LED, others lend themselves to the slower fade of an incandescent bulb. You can always experiment and see what looks best to you.
