For bands other than 80 you would be better off with a balanced feed line
than with the coax.

I will be building a center fed 80 m dipole, 62.5 feet
each side of center. The ends will be about 23 feet above
ground but the center is not supported to it sags to about
18 feet. I will feed it directly with about 25 feet of
RG-213 50 ohm coax and connect it to an antenna tuner in
the shack that can tune from 50 to 500 ohms.

This should work okay on 80 m, right?

How well will it do on 20 m?
