      OK, I've added another omnibus sense to 影.

      I don't think it's necessary to split sense 3. It's not unusual to have glosses with different connotations for the same sense.
影 is commonly used for senses 2-4 (but probably less so in edited prose). I suggest either adding 影 as an iK form or adding those senses to the 影 entry with a "non-standard; usu. written as 陰" note.

      WRT adding 影 as sK, I think that obscures the fact that the alignment with 陰 is really just sense 1. Maybe an xref to/from sense 1 of 1590145 would be better.
For sense 3, I think the "behind someone's back" can stay. This dictionary is really for people coming *from* Japanese and the nuance should be clear.
