So I decided not to remove the felts from the hammers on my '77 Stage, considering that the felts are very clean along with everything else inside this piano. There's one note, however, where the felt had peeled halfway off and I needed to remove it. The question is, what kind of glue is the best choice for gluing it back on?

I think I would use gel contact adhesive.

Yes, contact cement. You apply and let it dry before sticking the felt back on.
