@Mouse and others. The tail piece is generally the same, unless the maker offers up a proprietary mutant. If the electric cello utilizes geared pegs, the tail piece will lack fine tuners to lessen tampering weight.
A electronic pickup is quite capable of magnifying slight string vibrations, so a long period of resonance is possible without a classically formed corpus.

If it's passive electronics headphones won't work, you'll need a small headphone amp like the Rolls etc.. https://www.sweetwater.com/c41.....lsrc=aw.ds
I plug mine into an amp or mixing board, they both have headphone inputs

@Mouse . I use mine without headphones and I like it. If you do use headphones, I suggest getting a “gamer” set with a single ear cup. Otherwise, if your left ear cup strikes a peg, you will think a nuke bomb went off in the house.
You have several instruments so this goes without saying, but make sure that the string length between the nut and bridge is consistent between the acoustic and the electric or your intonation will be off. You should also mimic the curves on the respective bridges to ease bowing adjustment.

If the electric cello is similar in design to the cecilio, the plastic cup holding the piezo electric pickup can easily be moved. I play steel opera strings on mine. Helicore are six times the cost, but would also work well. I would stay away from anything with a synthetic core. I also use a plastic tail piece on mine designed for a 3/4 cello that costs about $30.
