Hmm. I know this is your Final submission but here's what I hear.
#s correspond to your summary.
1. It still feels like the bass is missing. I need to double check some other mixes to recalibrate my ears but it's really light. I hear the bass but I sometimes wasn't sure if it was the bass or another guitar.
2. The snare sounds good. Could be a bit beefier but that's just a matter of taste.
3. The BGVs feel ok. They're pretty subjective and open to interpretation so I don't really worry about them too much.
4. Acoustics sound good. Bright but don't have that annoying high end thing that's on the track.
5. I don't really notice the left leaning too much. I mean the electric leans left but it's not drastic. The kick does too but I suspect that's the influence of what's in the overheads/room. The L/R balance feels fine.
6. I'm not familiar with Neutron or what it does but overall the mix is very pleasant to listen to. It's smooth and bright but not harsh. I don't know if that plug in played any roll in it but something is working well.
7. I only listen on headphones these days so I understand. Don't thing of the junk in the room as junk but diffusion. Ok maybe not. Maybe find some packing blankets and cover things up when you mix?
Overall it's a very good sounding mix. I just really wish it had more of the low end of the bass guitar.

It doesn't have to sound good. People just need to think it sounds good.
