The only problem will concern the shields which can't be used on Arrakis
because of the sand sworms.

I think standard IG vehicles could be used : as Herbert didn't speak about

The artillery used during the Harkonnen invasion was old stuff which was
not used because of shields. The Baron Vladimir managed to surprise the
Atreides troops by using this old artillery against the mountains where the
last Atreides soldiers were trying to resist. I don't think this kind of
artillery is currently used by the Landsraad Houses.

I would see an AV of 4 for the Sardaukars which are the best warriors of
the galaxy (except Fremen).

I agree. Someone on the list talked about giving them Infiltrators, this
could be interesting I think.

Why did you give these special upgrades? Did you follow the example of the
video game or did you find all this (except Ordos of course) in the books?

Yes, I like this rule. We can imagine a special rule on Arrakis : during
the final phase of each turn, roll a die for each detachment where there
are shields. On a 4+, the detachment is attacked by a sand worm and suffer
a 5d6 FP attack, or something like this.
Good work! :)
