This game loads near instantly on an SSD which is great, but I can't read the loading screen tips in time.

Totally agree:

1) The loading screen with tips goes away too fast for me, it should say “press any key to continue”.

-Regarding "new quotes and tips" in the game load screen, it goes away too fast for me, I can't read it. As suggested at some point, "press any key to continue" could be implemented.

these seemed well received and don’t seem controversial (...), besides being apparently easy to implement: 1) loading screen having a “press any key to continue”

I'm sure it happens: I'd like to see a sample chart from a player that outcompetes Medium AI on economy early game.

Here on Medium AI (on Very Hard I don't outcompete economy early game, but I play quite intuitively, no videos or tips to know optimal build order, for now at least).

When units get arrows over their heads, are they "leveling up" (earning stat boosts) or is it just a cost:effectiveness indicator like in Zero-K?

The chevrons above the units' heads signify (from single to triple) basic, advanced and elite rank; they go along with increasing attack and HP values and decreasing gathering speeds. (Since this site's search function is phenomenally terrible I don't know if there's a good overview somewhere.)
