Solid mix overall. You seem to know where you need to go to improve the mix based on what you just typed out
I think -11LUFS is a pretty safe compromise between loud but not worrying about stray frequencies causing your limiter to crush the mix at random spots. But, I agree. getting a mix to be loud and still sounding good and pleasant is a challenge on it's own. Something that I am trying to figure out as well.
We all have different perspectives on what music should sound like. Which is great because musicians have a lot of options when picking someone to create the vision that they have in their head.
And, you're going to get left behind if you don't play the loudness war I think. Volume is a huge part of how people perceive if things sound good. And, with phones and laptops being the prominent source that people consume music on these days.... yeah... slam that shit.
