Actually, my recollection of using RDF is that when we approached a
harbor in limited visibility we made sure that the compass bearing was
shifting in the proper direction, to ensure we were on the proper side

That is bush league navigation. You should have been applying the half
convergence correction and steering a compass course.

A. There's nothing "bush league" about it. This is good sound navigation
practice involving "Danger bearings".
B. Not approaching a harbor. You are well within the range where
corrections for great circle would not be absolutely or even practically
needed, although other corrections may apply.

Now I'm sure you're reading a book.
