Were their virtues some sort of insider writer's joke? None of their virtues match.
I don't think they have any virtues at all, all 6 of them are horrible pony beings, once you get to know them.
This cartoon show was hypocritical as shit if you bothered looking at the characters' motivations with the ending morals and how they contradict.

Ignore this shitposter.
Let's talk about how much garbage the constant power struggle between Hasbro and Faust has caused for the cartoon show.

Rarity was an executive mandate, Faust never wanted her. Nobody wanted her. Luna was suppose to be the 6th green power ranger.

You mean their elements? Twiggy is good at magic and Pinkie literally keeps the town from falling into a joyless chaos, so they at least match up.
Not necessarily a joke, just writers not getting Faust's vision.
And with later seasons, writers being influenced by fandom memes and opinions about the characters. For example, by some fans Pinkie Pie was regarded as a screaming retard. So after a few seasons she became nothing more than a screaming retard. While in the first season she was just hyper-active, there wasn't even much shouting or screeching. Also the cartoon physics were timed and used better, i.e. "only when it was funny".

>None of their virtues match.
I don't know, just swap Background Pony and Bluefast, and the rest are pretty close.
Maybe they aren't the most extreme in pushing their virtue to the limit, but then again that's what Harmony is about.
They have just the right dose of their respective virtue to be a good friend.
