The shared health bar could actually balance out how Dark Lords work. Attacks targeted at them wouldn't do anything, but the party would still be able to get defeated. Of course, we still don't really know anything about how the system works, so there might be other handicaps on Dark Lord characters that we just don't know about.

We don't know to what degree the Holy Gals are actually comparable to gods, just that they're technically considered to be them. It'd be cool if they could bypass the Invincibility Field, though.

Pi-R's situation might be different in canon, but in Kichikuou humanity had already found a cure for Root's disease for over a century. Pi-R was just too far gone to realize it. He's not really the kind of guy who I'd expect to become an ally, just because, even if Rance were to somehow rescue and cure Root without fucking her, I'd still expect him to freak out over having his precious sister tampered with without his permission. I'd be all for having every Dark Lord (besides Kayblis, obviously) having some way of being recruitable, though, but I'd imagine the best chance of that happening is if there's a playable Demon King Rance path.
