I would absolutely swap your descriptions of Wisdom and Charisma here. Charisma is about personality and sense of self; anything that changes your beliefs/personality/identity should target Charisma (personally I houserule that any charm or charmlike effect is a Charisma save; fear I'm fine with as Wisdom).
If you look at the non-spell effects, it's clear that it's Charisma you use to influence other people, and Wisdom to avoid being influenced.
Your post was made in the context of changing what spells target which saves. If we take your comment here to its conclusion, there should be no Charisma saves, because Charisma is not a resistance stat. I'm just saying that as long as we're talking about changing the way the spells already work, we should do it in a way that's consistent with what the ability scores are said to represent.
Also, I'm not aware of any "non-spell effects" that involve avoiding being influenced.

You're using it to push back against binding. Also, it works better for compatibility with spells that already have a Charisma save (for example, Magic Circle and Sanctuary can be thought of as the same class of effect). In any case, it's certainly possible to come up with alternate lists.
Suffice to say, ask 2 people to explain Charisma vs. Wisdom and you'll get 3 explanations. I think at this point OP has what they came for, reasonable minds differ on where the boundaries are drawn, but a lot of people agree that they're fuzzy. No use arguing over whose houseruled re-interpretation of Charisma is best, lots of room to differ.

I'm going to make this way harder than it needs to be.
