I feel like Joe Pitt doesn't get enough recognition for his contributions to the show. He developed and enhanced the look of the characters based off those rough (albeit still appealing) pilot designs, and he even went on to board and direct on later episodes.
Seems like a lot of people forget about him and Ian Worrel simply because they haven't gone on to land their own shows yet (like Matt Braly and Dana Terrace).
It still amazes me how Alex Hirsch--a twenty-something literal who--managed to completely redefine Disney TVA's future output, even going as far as to outshine their previous cash cow: Phineas and Ferb. Dan & Swampy's second show couldn't even get off the ground despite using a more serialized format that Gravity Falls had proven was financially successful.
Now we have Amphibia, Big City Greens, the DuckTales reboot, The Owl House, and even Molly McGee, all of which probably wouldn't have gotten the go-ahead or turned out they way they have without GF's surprisingly positive performance. Hirsch somehow managed to convince Disney to bring back 22-minute episodes, too.
Love him or hate him, the dude's had a pretty massive influence in his field.
I pretty much agree with all your points, especially on the r34 we'll be missing out on. I would've loved some Mrs. Ramirez lewds.

what a terrible fucking title
Okay, wise guy. Let's see you come up with a better one.
Chill, user. The title is serviceable, especially when you see how it ties in to each episode title.
It's possible that Glitch Techs's production made it even harder for Sam and Shakira's pitch to land anywhere. Oh, well. I don't really feel like we missed out on much.
>The leader of the pirates, BOOTLEG
Yeahhh... There was no way this was getting picked up
HERE COME THE GLITCH TECHS, THEY KNOW WHAT TO DO
go figure
