Just wait a while before you decided to modified the Rychtarski, spend all winter riding with the 42mm tyres and developed a thick skin from the ribbing of the club riders about it.

The Paul Racer use cantilever mount*, not centerpull, Dia Compe 610 required centerpull mount.

*to clarify, I mean the mount itself is the same as cantilever/v brakes, but positioned for centerpull.

I have some tektro cantis, and the yoke has two screws that pinch the cable once you've set the 'center' balance on the arms, so that it pulls evenly.

Ive been wondering if this is needed, and if a yoke with a pulley like the one on those centerpull would allow the brakes to balance themselves?

You don't generally need to pinch the cable on the yoke, that's useful to ensure both pads move in evenly.

Usually there's a screw on both side that allow you to adjust both pads.
