do you feel like this would be close to the timeline of the world of blackmoor on events? 

And if you're familiar with Shadowdark how well do you think those adventures discussed would you feel run in the system?
No. Tha’ts not a historic order, it is a mish-mash of available things. If you want to know the order of adventures played out by the original players then you will need to look at my timeline. Its in the back of my Weird Enclave of Blackmoor book and I think there is an older version on my blog somewheres.
 
Using published adventures to mimic the experience of someone like Greg Svenson in 1975, you would get something like:
 
Blackmoor Dungeon
Garbage Pits of Despair
Temple of the Frog
City of the Gods
 
I would throw in some linking adventures from the MMORPG and prolly I’m forgetting something so I might update. There is a good bit missing from that list because no published adventures exist. For example, the great vampire hunt should follow next.
 
Shadowdark – yes I was a backer. Thing is Kelsey Dione has fooled the internet into thinking Shadowdark is something new and a fusion of 5e and the OSR. The truth is that Shadowdark is 3lbb OD&D with some house rules for the magic system and a couple other things. Lol! So yes, I’m very familiar with “Shadowdark” and I think it’s a great choice for running any of those adventures.
 
The one thing you have to keep in mind though is that 3.5 – 5e adventures have much higher HP monsters of the same level so you’ll need to shave them back a bit or make sure your player characters are at the higher end of the recommended levels.
