SSDF deals strictly with comp. vs comp. ratings, and in no way reflects human vs
comp. ratings.

You need a different list! Human vs Computers, at SSDF if indeed something could
be arranged by the SSDF to give incentive for human grandmasters to participate.

So I think the SSDF is very reliable, as long as you keep in mind these are
computer ratings and not human ratings.

Although, it would be great to have a second list that is only human vs
computers.

It would then reflect, if enough games could be played, an accurate rating list
for computers vs humans.

But you can't put it in one list. That would be mixing apples with oranges.
