Coefficientwise total-positivity conjecture for the four-parameter recurrence triangle

Let $a,c,d,e$ be algebraic indeterminates, and define $T(n,k)$ by

$$T(n,k)=[a(n-k)+c]T(n-1,k-1)+(dk+e)T(n-1,k)$$

for $n\geq 1$, with $T(0,k)=\delta_{k0}$. Thus $\bm{T}=(T(n,k))_{n,k\geq 0}$ is a lower-triangular matrix over $\mathbb{Z}[a,c,d,e]$. A polynomial is nonnegative in the coefficientwise order when all its coefficients are nonnegative, and a polynomial matrix is coefficientwise totally positive when all its minors have nonnegative coefficients. Four-parameter coefficientwise total-positivity conjecture. The lower-triangular matrix $\bm{T}$ defined by the recurrence above is coefficientwise totally positive in the indeterminates $a,c,d,e$. This conjecture would imply the clean Eulerian and reversed Stirling conjectures under the specializations $(a,c,d,e)=(1,1,1,1)$ and $(1,0,0,1)$, respectively; the source gives no proof of the general assertion.
