  Comments:
The "であるから、それにふさわしく" sense is our sense 1.
"contrary to expectations" doesn't work as a gloss for sense 2, and it's not really about "negatives" but rather unexpected results.
Added sense (from GG5 and meikyo).

I'll pass on sense 3 - I felt tired enough after the previous edits. Seems OK.

daijr has 3 senses, but only one aligns with ours. koj 1. nikk 2 

2 …であるから、なおのこと。「期待が大きかっただけに失望も大きかった」
3 …であるから、それにふさわしく。

could this 3 be translated as "fittingly; suitably"? or should it be "given ..., it is suitable that"
  Comments:
this is often used when explaining a pun, e.g.

詰め寄るさくらうち
🍊「ちかっ…千歌だけに…(今書いてる小説にこれと似たド滑りダジャレ出てきます)」

here there's only one "..." to be "filled out" i.e. "given that ... it is only natural that ..." doesn't work here.

I did wonder about that, but it would need to be a different sense. I thought I could get away with keeping it in one sense.
