Cons #4 and #5 might just be a houserule in your table. Fifth edition rules make no special case for natural 1 or natural 20 on skill rolls outside of combat. You still add/subtract modifiers and check against DC like normal. For attack rolls, natural 20 is a critical hit that automatically hits (no matter if the target's AC was boosted with spells to absurd numbers) and deals more damage. Natural 1 is just an auto-miss with no other consequences. Anything else is houserules, which admittedly are rather common. But they're still houserules.

Otherwise I mostly agree with everything.
