This is definitely a tune that didn't seem to need or want much help, that's for sure. All I did with mine was try to focus on enhancing what was there and adding in the sweetners. Just throwing all the faders up gave a pretty decent sound as you seem to have discovered.
One thing I found with this tune is that it benefits from a fair amount of clip gain automation in most tracks. If you can even that out, the compressors do a much better job of managing the rest of it. I think maybe the lead vocal could use a little more compression. He's got a little too much power at times. Especially at the breaks between phrases where the instruments give way to the vocal harmonies.
Other than that comment, I can't hear anything that immediately grabs me.
Good mix, Olli!
