The gateverb on the snare is definitely a statement, and I can't decide whether you get away with it as a statement. It's certainly unapologetic enough to avoid coming across as a mistake, but I wonder whether you wear it just a bit too proudly in terms of the balance, which tips the balance against you in my view. An interesting tack, though, certainly, and one that helps give your mix a fullness that's quite appealing. Are the cymbals overbalanced, though? I think I'd probably pull them back a decibel or two at least to allow more of the vocal details to survive their masking effects.
Your grasp of the section contrasts and long-term dynamics seems pretty good too, and you carry me along with you through the arrangement pretty successfully. Good work there, because it's not easy to get on top of that stuff.
