Is this going to necessitate a redefinition of the heliosheath or heliopause, since those are partially based on the solar magnetic field?
No. They're both... way outside of the sun, so the depth within the sun at which the magnetosphere is generated is immaterial to them.
I was just thinking that since the centre of those was on/in the Sun, this shift might make a difference, but that makes sense.
