Never heard of 'pizzicato col legno': 'plucking with the bow'. Are you sure the sound is not 'col legno battuto': tapping with the bow? In which case, it is not easier nor much harder than arco - pizz - arco.
In arco, if the bow stroke can be made near the frog, then a pizz can follow quickly after the bowing; to bow after a pizz takes a fraction more time.
In col legno, the player uses the middle part of the stick, so it takes a fraction more time to get to the string with a finger and then back to an upside down bow grip and the middle of the stick. I'd guess (as a beginner 'cellist and experienced composer) that quarters at mm=80 would be possible but unsteady, but eighths at mm=80 would not be possible.

These are nice - an interesting contrast between the violin solo and the col legno and pizz in the 1st one. I only have a minor criticism: maybe that percussive accompaniment could be lighter at first? More delicate to be under the soft violin line. But it sounds very good.

I think this sounds very nice.
I feel the violin needs to be louder compared to the other instruments. VSL sounds excellent.
