I personally find it a bit boring if all the tracks have same kind of reverb the same amount. Have you ever considered using reverb to create a contrast between instrument instead of using it as tool to mesh up all the tracks together into a single space? How about, say keeping the vocal bone dry while adding lots of reverb to the Rhodes to push it far back in the mix? Food for thought
What about using reverb on snare drum and some guitar parts that need that extra something, and using delay on main vocal while using reverb to ad bigness to back vocals so they sound kinda like choir singing in a big space. And with that synth bass I had done what it needed. The top end of it was too harsh for my ears so I used lpf or hi cut on it and brightened backing vocals. For example flanger or phaser can be used on rhodes to get kinda rotary speaker vibe to it or you could also leave it in mono.
