I don’t find the kick muddy but many a little…resonant? Thumpy? It feels like it comes and goes though. But there are times when there’s just a frequency in the lows that seems to poke out. The bass gtr might be a little muddy but I’m not sure it bothers me that much. Do you think the kick might be fighting with the kick at all? I wonder if the kick eq was done to make it stand up against the bass guitar. I might be overthinking it but maybe the bass could be cleaned up in the lower mids or in the 150hz range (just a random guess) and then the lows of the kick could be tamed because it’d have less to compete against. I’m probably over thinking it. I think the bass works and I’d worry about losing the overall support it gives.
I’ve listened through a couple of time and don’t really notice and crackles.
I like the snare tone but I think it might occasionally get in the way of the vocal. I wouldn’t worry about it or mess with it but I’d also keep it in mind and maybe consider less bottom mic in the future.
I think the vocal level works but maybe could come up at times. I think it’s good in the verses but maybe could be ridden up a couple of dB when it has more to compete against. Thomas might be right regarding high end/air. It might be the contrast with the snare. I like how the vocal sounds and I’d be worried of it getting to harsh or sibilant. Maybe there can be a very subtle effects change between the verses and chorus to add that interest without adding highs. Or maybe not.
I like the dynamics. Especially guitar 2 in the chorus. Lol. Overall it sounds good. I wouldn’t bother working on it any more or at least going for something better. I think any issues are relatively minor and not worth messing with an already good mix. Any of my thoughts are more things to think about for the next mixes.

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