Yeah, wealth levels should be substantially lower. You won't need to buy stat boosters, cloaks/vests of resistance, and magic armor (or other AC boosting equipment). You will be able to buy some pretty impressive weaponry, but it largely won't be magic (or at least, that's not where it'll get most of its punch from). But the items outside of the magic item compendium's 'big six' (weapons, armor, vest/cloak of resistance, ring of protection, amulet of natural armor, and stat boosters), I'm not figuring on dropping any mechanical replacements into the game.
It's also probably true that most of the magic items you end up having will, in fact, be the sort of inexpensive (to mid-level 998YK Eberron adventurers) utility stuff that was very commonly made, and so lots of ancient (but still working) copies exist. But since this Eberron lacks the magewrights, artificers, and even wizards of 998 YK Eberron, newly-made stuff is extraordinarily uncommon.
