I agree with all of your good, and want to push back a bit on your flaws, because I don't see them as flaws as much as by products of other choices - though concede it is merely my interpretation as much the flaws are yours...
I think the fact that individually their "partners" were replaceable was a choice that further highlights how important Enid and Wednesday become for each other. If either of Enid or Wednesday were pulled to far towards the love interest it would take away from the 'natural' development of Enid and Wednesday together. So I don't see it as a flaw merely a reflection that for Enid and Wednesday no one is as important as Enid and Wednesday.
I think they did a great job of writing teenage kids as teenage kids. Bianca's a bitch and you get a concrete explanation for why, yet she also never went so far in bitch that she couldn't come back from it. Mayor's Son is a bit different, but I got that he was reconsidering, but those two guys were his "friends" and their peer pressure in that moment won out, but in the end also served to scare him straight. The fact that the two of them get the moment in the Weathervane to sit with each other and discuss who they want to be just demonstrated to me that they are broken people trying to figure out how to be their own people. I can agree that maybe they shouldn't have been so readily accepted by others, but I totally got why they would find some likeness in each other - they would want to believe the other can be redeemed to believe themselves redeemable.
Final Assessment - Absolutely binged it and will absolutely watch at least 2 more seasons (giving a pass for another season if it takes a bit of a dip due to expectations).

The love interests for Wednesday and Enid. ... I think Wednesday and Enid had more chemistry between them than they did with any of their love interests honestly.
