The downside is that running more than one Library really drives you to run 9-10 fetchlands so that you get maximum utility out of it, and especially so you can throw the second one away effectively without discarding it to Liliana. I'm currently running two basics (one swamp, one flex depending on what I expect) and 4 Delta, 4 Catacombs in addition to the "normal" dual package of 4 Sea, 2 Trop, 1 Bayou and am very happy with them in my delver-heavy meta. They also let you steal games from decks like Painter and Death and Taxes that you otherwise would just lose to Blood Moon, Wasteland, and Port.

Also, I've been testing maindeck Counterspell and the 4th MD Force in place of non-Thoughtseize discard and have been very happy with it, especially against Miracles.
The changes you mention are all things that I can get behind…and are probably very meta-dependent. The few slots I am not sure about in akatsuki's list are the 1 of ponder (Sylvan instead) and maybe the 1-of IoK. Everything else seems smooth.

I guess it would be interesting to get thoughts about Perish vs Toxic Deluge vs Deed in the board.
