I do hardly know what Onuphids are - since they are not Serpulids!
Nevertheless here my reaction: In whatever taxonomic and descriptive
paper on your Onuphidae you can easily and briefly refer to Orrhage's
findings of homology. But after such an introduction, showing that you
do not ignore those homologies, you may continue to use the traditional
term, maybe with between " " or with -like.
That may cause least trouble and confusion to those (presumably majority)
consulting your papers for taxomomic use.
