I believe the unit luck bonuses only apply to events, and not to the chance for heroes to appear.

Actually, I don't think that type of site is moddable into a new site. You could possibly achieve the effect by modding an existing site to be the path you wanted and then use unit modding to modify whatever base unit type was summoned (if you wanted it to still be around for other purposes, you'd need to add it back in as a copy.) Not sure off hand if there are any units that are "safe" for that by virtue of not also being recruitable or summonable elsewhere. Note that I haven't tested this approach, and it would depend on the site summoning using unit numbers rather than unit names.

Actually I don't think those items (the black laurel and the jade mask) are actually restricted in any way. The former just allows additional lictors to be summoned when summoning lictors, and only Ermor can do that. The latter is just restricted to cold-blooded, iirc (it's been reported that e.g. lamia queens can use it.)
