Before structural equation modelling (reliability analysis, CFA for reflective measurement models)

[Harel]

Dear SEM Experts!

I have estimated a structural equation model including both reflective and formative measurement models. For all reflective measurement models reliability measure (McDonald's omega) is >0.700. CFA which includes all reflective measurement models shows good fit demonstrated by RMSEA<0.05, CFI>0.950, TLI>0.950. Is this enough? Should I do anything else before structural equation modelling? Note, I have both reflective and formative measurement models. When testing the measurement models with CFA, I have estimated CFA only for reflective measurement models. I do not use any personality inventories, I have proposed my own measurement scales. Thank you in advance or reference to a book/journal paper.
