IMO you shoudl ditch teh leg curls for some seated calf raises /w your shoes off. As well add another exercise for your shoulders maybe incline side raises (they a b****) but work.

the bicep pump on shoulder day might have been a result of using a little bit of bicep contraction when shrugging the weight which is not good. Other wise there is no reason for the biceps to be worked during shoulder exercises.

Personally, I'd change it up a bit, but at the end of the day you need to think "Is this working for me". If it is, then you're doing something right. Only when you notice no change after anb extended period of time can you truly make the right decision.
However...
9 sets for legs - for me, too low volume.
Structure of workout - pretty good. One whole leg, one quad, one ham / glute - I do the same.
Calves - on another day?
I would...
4 sets of squats (10, 8, 6, same weight as you used for 8).
4 sets of extensions (same reps).
4 sets of leg curls / lunges (same reps).
4-6 sets of calf raises (pick a weight for 15 reps, and do sets with only a 30 second rest).
But, you may find this too much, it's your call. All I'd say is to try it (on a Friday so, you have the weekend to recover)...
Remember - all sets to failure, or damn close. If you can lift it easily, then it ain't doing much for ya'.
