1. I think people are a little too tunnel visioned on their own thoughts of enhancement to see the bigger picture.
Pre-RISE enhancement by Nexon gatekeeps enhancement behind depot runes up to +10, and then leaves the rest to RNG (except for some events where +11/12 runes were made available in the depot).
In Windictus, a +10 is easily obtained (the way it should be), and +11/12 enhancement runes are also fairly obtainable by doing seal/mission dailies (in addition to enhancement protection runes). This makes +12 sort of the baseline here, rather than +10.
Keep in mind that the +12 rune is also tradable, as are daily tickets (to buy the +11 rune). These runes may also be added as raid drops in the future.
Beyond +12, there are +15 enhancement protection runes available as raid drops.
In a way, this is similar to what you are suggesting. The RNG is still an element, but with the current rune system, it's not all that punishing. This makes the runes the grind, rather than the stones, and I think most people would rather farm raids to grind runes, than farm boats to grind stones/elixirs.
I'll be reworking enhancement stats more in a future update too.
2. The Enchant system should be fine with the new prices + the addition of the unstable enchantment rune. I may add Magic Powders as a possible fishing drop so that people can passively work towards their next enchantment whenever they sleep/afk.
4. Fusion rune prices have been lowered
7. I may add some infusion materials as a fishing reward in the future as well
