This would be 280 to match the difficulty of the other two, for me.

I'm not so sure Medium can handle this walljump. Could you think about adding a spacejump option?
With HiJump, you would probably eventually happen to get a good jump.

Existing strats have canPlayInSand on these movement options.

Sounds good. Added a Space Jump option and put canPlayInSand on the others. The Gravity+HiJump option feels close to the line between Medium and Hard. Makes sense not to expect more in the farm strat than is expected in the room traversal strat, probably safest to keep it in Hard for now.
