I don't have any troubles firing my RF-602's from my 124G, M645 1000S, or RB67 using the adapters listed above. The RF-602's only have a center pin contact, so no need for TTL anything. I have also had no issues with my YN-622's, which are E-TTL.
It's possible the YN-E3-RT requires a TTL body to connect with. The same happens with the YN RF-602 and 603 mkI

I use RF603's (mk 1 and mk II) on a Bronica ETRS. No TTL or anything there. Works fine on the other film cameras I've tried it on too.
I'm not talking about TTL triggering, but just needing a TTL body.
From what I've read, and my experience with the 603 mkI, they won't "connect" to the receivers unless the transmitter device sits on a TTL shoe. They can be modified to do this. This is the case with the 602 also. This has been "fixed" with the 603 II.
I have the 602's, and the 622's. I almost always use my 602's, and I use them constantly on my M645 with the hot shoe adapter I first linked to, and it works every time. Maybe mine are just an older (or newer) version?
You should not have any problems, I use Elinchrome studio flash with my classic cameras, mainly my Rolleiflex,cord and Microcord, just make sure you use the X setting, and you will have flash sync at all shutter speeds, you will need a flash meter to get the correct exposure, I have used various flash setups over the many years that I have used classic cameras and have yet to have a problem, other than forgeting to set the camera to x on a few occosions,I've got a bit of modern flash gear that I use with my "other format" camera. Specifically I've got Youngnuo YN600-EX-RT speedlights and a YN-E3-RT transmitter.
I've got a Yashicamat 124 and a I'm expecting delivery next week of a Mamiya RB67 Pro
Both of those have only the PC connection for flash sync.
I know everything would have to be in manual mode with the associated exposure considerations.
My question is would I be able to trigger the YN-E3-RT transmitter using a PC to hot shoe cable to remotely trigger the speedlights?
As said, if you can use manual mode/power with the triggers, you're golden. I've used modern triggers on my older cameras.

Some flash components that are dedicated to specific cameras can cause problems, because they have additional contacts that don't match the simple contacts on something like the 645e hot shoe.
If you have the option of mounting the trigger elsewhere and using a pc cord to the pc socket on the camera, that will most likely function reliably in manual mode.
If the flash has built-in auto-exposure capability (distinguished from auto-exposure that relies on the camera) that should work as well.
