Would black cardamom be a suitable substitute for sha ren?

What about wild carrot (Daucus carota) root subbed for the bai zhi?

Not sure about wild carrot?

For Sha Ren - I'm really awful at describing flavors, apologies - I would say it's floral at the front (almost like lavender), and somewhat reminiscent of nutmeg as an aftertaste. While it's not the same, a small little hunk of nutmeg feels like it might be a better fit for this specific mix?
