For characters, I'm hoping for something new. If the blue Cure wants to be the mature/rich/smart one, give her something interesting that'll separate her from the others. Same goes for yellow and pink; give them something innovative and, unlike Star Twinkle, give them attention. Don't shove 1-2 of them aside for a midseason cure who'll take the show's focus upon her debut. Find a way to balance the cast so each can get development and focus without one outshining the other. I agree with everything you said. I'm the most worried about the pink Cure, because those tend to be the most repetitive, whereas blue Cures generally have things that set them apart from each other.

And although Fuwa does have a personality, most of the time she's just there to use her powers, look cute, and advertise the Twinkle Book. Plus, she has one of the most annoying voices in the franchise. It's like her voice actress tried to be as high-pitched as humanly possible. Pinks DO have something that sets them from each other and yes, I meant beyond personal interest. So please quit downplaying them or unfairly lumping them together. I'm really tired of their misrepresentation. The only outliers are the recent modern Pinks since Happiness Charge sans Haruka and Hana. The real problem is that they only have typical klutzy traits but no other actual character, arc, or development.

Of course, like Nipasu said, something different would be nice but that being said, regardless of what tropes they inherited, new or old, it doesn't mean anything unless they have an actual personality or arc as characters. Mirai and Elena pretty much proof of this, with the former doing fairly well in school and the latter being part of a different enthic group.
