The issue with this is that the 80s rotation is mostly player made. Since based on the songs durations the rotation should be 90s. If they are able to adjust Armys Paean so that cutting it short isn't desired then that, in theory, would adjust the rotation up to 90s.

adjusting armys paeon so cutting it short isn't desired would only mean you would cut mages ballad short instead. Only way to really make you "want" a 90 second rotation with the songs would be if the recast cooldown on them were 90s each, but that would

a)be a straight up nerf even with perfect gameplay
b)punish accidental cutting of other songs even harder than it allready does

from the things proposed here i will just say that while i like basically all the points you mentioned, the biggest by far for me would be
1/2. (tie)buffing sidewinder (its simply too weak for the cooldown, especially with EA as comparison)
1/2. (tie)stacks for EA and BL, its simply overly punishing right now aswell as more or less forces you to just spam BL during mages ballad which well, "doesn't feel nice" to say it nicely
3. pitch perfect cooldown of 1 second, its bad enough getting the skill out when the server tick happens at 1~ second left, really no need to make it worse by also having to watch out that you use it early enough so the cooldown is even ready.

btw, one point you didn't specifically mention about a second EA charge is the more flexible timing this would offer would actually allow us to keep an extra charge for wanderers instead of using it during armys paeon when its not needed, which would be great because that would actually be a small way to optimize a bit more, instead of simply "more/bigger" number
