This is a good summation. As for ideas for 3, how about if more powerful races had a lower level cap? Like, you topped out at level 40 for a high-elf and level 50 for a human, and everyone else was somewhere in-between? Newbies will die before the level cap becomes relevant. The biggest problem of course is that this limits spell access for full casters; a lot of the really class-defining spells would be unavailable to high-elves if we used the numbers I suggested. But both the level caps and the spell levels could be tweaked.
Fireproof town spellbooks as a moderately rare/deep thing are a good idea IMO. They serve a similar quality-of-life improvement as finding Rods of Recall vs. ?WoR. Maybe have them start appearing from around dlvl50?
