Jul 31, 2023 at 21:10 comment added JimB The fits certainly reproduce the data (especially with spec = 5 but that requires the estimation of 4, 2, 5, and 4 coefficients for the regressions, respectively. Despite the OP's claim that the observations are exact, 4 or 5 coefficients for just 8 data points is extreme at best. (Using spec = 10 for one of the regressions ends up with 9 coefficients!) As mentioned in my comment above, the OP's expectations are not realistic. But your answer with spec = 1 is good and the best that one can do.
Jul 31, 2023 at 17:46 comment added Kvothe Thanks this now works much better with the higher SpecificityGoal. I would still hope to get an answer that uses the monotonicity of the data but this gives a quick decent fit.

Jul 31, 2023 at 16:06 comment added Kvothe Thanks for the suggestion. Unfortunately these fits are terrible. They are basically constant or linear and most don't even come close to even just a few points. This can be seen easily if you shift the different components to lie close together (add the line data=(# - {0, 0, 1, 1.2, 3.25}) & /@data for example to see this.
