Fight 1
I read the arguments and slept on them. Then I read them again. I can see next to no good arguments. And now I'm supposed to weed them out. Why should stacking abilities be unbalanced? The modder is required to check whether his changes are unbalancing the game. By setting a few entries in rulesmd.ini everyone could give the GI super-strong armor and a horse-sized package. It's up to the modder to balance. Emulating the reaper logic by using hacks, some people say it is already possible in vanilla YR, some say it is not. (Splits, indeed, does not exist in YR. Hacks may be possible, I don't know and I won't test.) Having to emulate the reaper burst logic by using two weapons that fire at the same time would remove the option to create a reaper-like unit. To do something similar, both weapon slots must be used. The original reaper also has a net thrower, and there is no Tertiary=WebLauncher yet. Let's do the TS Missile feature properly.
Fight 2
This one is easier: Lasers. Even if controlling a single base with two people would be nice, coding and testing this is beyond all reason compared to the laser stuff. Lasers got more support and extending the feature would most likely benefit more community members.
