I'm not going to relate to all your points, but:
To make the fonts look right you don't need to install 3rd party stuff. Just change the hinting to Slight in gnome-tweak-tool. I think Slight hinting should be the default. Without it, fonts looks fuzzy.
Keep in mind that Cantarell's hinting is broken, so the more hinting it receives, the fuzzier it gets. [1] And Cantarell is used all over the place by default, so going down to slight hinting will make GNOME look a lot better... but a GNOME bug probably shouldn't dictate the default.
I'm not an expert, so this is really all I have to say about that.
