I thought Coulson's death was one of the most moving plot developments in Avengers, and was peeved when I learned they'd retconned it out, because that emotional impact evaporated. (I feel the same way about all the resurrections in the comics, so at least I'm consistent.)
I have high hopes for the Loki series, but will not watch on principle until it's available to borrow from my library on DVD. Same goes for Falcon/Winter Soldier and WandaVision. (Yes, that is going to be a thing.)
RE: Steve and Peggy. It also does not make sense because 1) Why did Tony/Pepper/Morgan sway him when Hawkeye and his happy family did not, b) he didn't have kids with Peggy, and c) as you said, he'd made his peace with things, and it's hard for me to buy that Supreme Goody Two-Shoes Steve would go back for me-time with Peggy without trying to save everyone else in the bargain. I thought handwaviness was going to come into play when Bruce had his whole misdirected answering monologue on the ins and outs of time travel, and I was not mistaken...
RE: Pepper and the armor. YES. I liked her character for being competent and going toe-to-toe with Tony's attitude, but that was wildly out of character. I thought the relationship on the rocks development in the earlier films made perfect sense and was disappointed that much of what she did subsequently served the exigencies of the plot versus logically developing from what had come before.
