Just so. Nevertheless, one question in particular remains: What were the
likely impulses which led to this identification in the first place?

Forgive me for adducing Ludolf of Saxony again, but he explicitly rejects
this identification and makes much out of the fact that the literal text of
Lk has Zacharias offering incense at the Altar of Incense, rather than the
Holy of Holies. He explicitly denies that Zacharias was high priest and
makes much out of his being part of the rotation of "ordinary" priests...

medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture
I've been doing some reading in a medieval harmony that presents John the
Baptist's father Zacharia as high priest, seemingly (this is more reading
the allusions in the text than explicit) celebrating Yom Kippur. I'm
wondering if anyone knows medieval sources for these traditions.
