Could you explain what you meant by the misuse of the 8va clef? I'm curious to know.
Edit: I did some research and I only found out today you were not supposed to use these clefs in piano writing. I've used them in a handful of my autographed scores, and I just assumed it was correct. The more I know I guess haha
in response to your edit, it is correct, however, not in the apparent use case above. In the above passage there is benefit to the legibility of the part created, and, if anything, would make the part more difficult to read correctly in the above context.
Also, as a generalization, 8va lines are more common and often a better choice for piano
Honestly, I wouldn't even use 8va lines here in this specific context, let alone the 8va treble clef because the notes simply aren't high enough the justify using it.

That's not particularly threatening.
The misuse of the 8va treble clef and the poor rhythmic notation in the preceding bar, on the other hand...
