Hello Adrien,
In Greece we don't use the 2D Helmert or the similarity transformation to compute coordinates between a local system and from and to EGSA87.
We use instead  a 2nd degree polynomial transformation. Try this it will cover a 50km side rectangle with less than 2-3 cm error. This method applied by Prof. Agantza to compute parameters between the old HATT system and EGSA87.
If you want more support mail me.

I've all the layers in a local system built by the archeologists and some of this points in the greek coordinates system too (EGSA87).    First, I can calculate a 2D transformation between the local coordinates and the greek coordinates. So I obtained the 5 parameters of transformation : the 3 translations (Tx Ty and Tz), the scale factor (K) and the angle of rotation (Rz).    Then, I don’t know how to create a new EPSG, because I tried with a transverse mercator projection as the greek projection, but I think that it’s impossible to insert a rotation in a proj4js (only with "+axis=", but I cannot choose the angle) So, I tried to use an oblique mercator projection with "+alpha=" (the rotation angle) and "+gamma=" (the meridian convergence)    The results aren't good. I've an error of less than 3cm on an archaeological site when the rotation is very low, but when I try this method on another site where the rotation angle is about 33 degrees, I have an error that can reach 15-20 centimeters.    I’d like to know how I can build a good EPSG for the local coordinates system ?    Thank you for your help
