I think @Halycon Styxland is right. On your #7. Stealth is used as often or more in a PnP campaign but that depends on the DM. The idea of thinking and talking your way out fights is true to DnD.

And surprise the superpower of a table top campaign. If you know a battle is inevitable you really want to attack from the shadows.

As far as DnD links you can't go wrong in watching Critical Role

The DM is also the voice of Minsc. I'm kinda stunned by his skills as a DM and his encyclopedic knowledge of the rules.

5. Doesn't happen. 1-2 edition had a feature, open only to humans, where they could abandon one class and start another but that doesn't exist from 3 third edition onwards.

I'll add a number 8. Barrelmancy doesn't exist and smokepowder is extremely rare and has been cursed to be unreliable. Grenades are as rare as +3 weapons and are as likely to damage you as your enemies. The curse was designed to avoid the situation Larian created: a peasant with a barrel of runepower is more powerful than an archmage.

Impressed that you planning to take on honor mode using 5e rules. Truth be told I'm been using Larian cheese to make it through honor mode.
