yes "technically", but in notation you always want to notate in the the easiest way so the player has no confusion. And 6/8 is almost always felt in 2. technically yes, you can beam the eighth notes in 3 sets of 2's, but it is more clear to have it in 3/4. 6/4 is a little different and I have seen it? grouped in 2, 3, and 6, so I see your point.

actually, 6/8 can be felt in either? way. You can usually tell the difference by the way it is written in the music depending on how the eighth note groupings are beamed.

This is pretty cool, I always like hearing a good song in a different time signiture (especially 7/8). One minor detail though, the first section should really be marked 3/4, it is subdivided in? 3 groups of 2, not 2 groups of 3. 6/8 is felt in 2 beats with a triplet subdivision, while 3/4 is felt in 3 beats with a duple subdivision. minor detail though
