I don't have enough experience to say anything else, besides that Firebolt is a cantrip with no resource limit, comparing it to Magic Missiles which is a level 1 spell at minimum isn't really a good idea, and suggesting to buff firebolt by that much is crazy. Also, it's going to get upgraded to 2d10 at level 5 anyway, as all offensive cantrips gain a bonus damage die at that level (and most martial classes get double attack then too). Unless Larian decides to make changes in regards to how level 5/6 progression works.
Also Cure Wounds being stronger but restricted to touch range is the tradeoff for Healing Word being a bonus action and a ranged spell. One is meant to heal a party member that isn't down yet, the other is primarily meant to quickly pick up a party member that's downed before they die.
