The Pioneer Spacecraft have shown an anomalous acceleration towards the
Sun of ~8 x 10^-16 m/s^2.

Pioneer 10 and Pioneer 11 were traveling at about 1.22 x 10^4 m/s and
1.16 x 10^4 m/s away from the Sun at the end of their lifetimes.

Now, the Pioneers will have experienced time dilation in the correct
direction (blue-shift for us on earth) as they escape the gravitational
well of the Sun, as follows:

We will use Swarzschild time dilation, dt_shell = (1-2M/r)^1/2 dt, where
dt_shell is shell time (i.e. use on earth, or Pioneer's electronics),
and dt is ephemeris time (bookkeeper time) valid at a great distance.

....and your justification for this is what, exactly?

Remember what the Schwarzschild solution describes.
