1000% agree with these points.
I was disappointed to learn that ritual casting is not implemented. Arcane Recovery has a separate menu that pulls up. Ritual spells should have the same (only accessible out of combat).
Find Familiar is a bit strong, but if it costs a spell slot instead of being free (like Ritual spells are in 5e) it might be permissible. I would rather they scale back the power level and make Ritual casting a thing.
Hopefully, Alarm (as a Ritual) will be added to the game as well as other options to charge Arcane Ward. Mage Armor and Protection from Good and Evil are the only things that recharge the Ward that I have found so far.
