I do agree concentration needs fixing right now but not complete reworking. Notably it should not ever dismiss your familiar if you concentrate on mage hand (which I don't think is a concentration spell in 5e anyways?), and surfaces are gimping concentration. However, concentration is the big balancer of 5e Casters. Remove surfaces breaking it and remove weird spell interaction and concentration will be fine and balanced, and will give incentive to things like Warcaster feat or Conjuration Wizard Subclass.

To the whole AC thing, I stated before that Druid having low AC as an animal is part of the trade to having increased health as an animal. I don't think it needs to inherit AC at all, just things like moonbeam control. And probably give back traits to animals they lack like their multiattack. Druids are meant to be big in health but get hit more when wildshaping. And as it's now, it's working as intended and even is allowing druid to shine as it's supposed to.
