I've read that Heifetz did not necessarily have those shortcomings live in the concert hall that you rightly identify in his records. That's not surprising. His RCA records of the 50s and early 60s were excellent for their time but show the limitations of the technology then available.
Recording limitations aside, he had a unique, highly distinctive style that he perfected to an amazingly high degree. But imo, that sort of star inevitably fades to the margins as a figure of the distant past. In the end, there is much more to the Beethoven and Mendelssohn concertos than their Heifetz interpretations. And many more performances by many more great violinists.
