Since the SAMs in my provided examples apparently engaged the mentioned targets (all comparably fast and small as a SM-2 acting as a TBM would be) successfully, I must assume that all stages, including the tracking and illumination went at least fairly well.

You might be able to help DW distinguish the difference by making reducing the FCR SL of the SM-2 and other very fast weapons. That should reduce the range of engagements. This is realistic - effective missile DLZs fall off drastically when engaging TBMs. And if you set it right, then as a whole, the chances of successfully defending will be more or less accurately simulated, which is the most important point.

In any case, the C-801 (and all the subsonic skimmers) has its own set of difficulty factors. It is slower, but there's the radar reflections from the waves to consider.
