In my eyes the proposed parameters corrects some of the last overeager engineering choices of the past

Could not agree with this more and I would more specifically suggest that every quick workaround that was added to try to micromanage the system despite it being in a very unrefined and questionably-designed state in the first few months be simply removed (and then new, better, solutions be devised to deal with actual problems that occur on a more mature platform with very different overall rules and usage).

Most of these, thankfully, have already been removed but a few remain. Off the top of my head: a) 30 minute voting penalty (including the somewhat bizarre idea to give the extra rewards to the author); b) the arbitrary time-limits on posts and comments (especially comments on the steemit interface, but this is UI-dependent); c) some aspects of the bandwidth rules; d) nearly all, if not all, of the rep system; e) the 'SBD stability' patch.
