Starfleet has standardized the use of the extra 8th deck just over the warp core for the vital function of ice cream bar.

[X] Inline Deflector (Maximum Warp: -0.4)
[X] Low-Power Warp Core (Maximum Warp: -0.6)
My ideal here would be inline and standard core, but I'd rather at least one of the two gets the cheaper option here.

I'm guessing that the next thing is either nacelles or the secondary hull, right? Regardless of what comes next, I'm just wondering how the secondary hull will interact with the landing gear. Makes me want to go with a secondary hull that's as minimal as possible to see what happens. A smallish secondary that's higher than the saucer could be interesting.

Pretty sure we're not getting a second shot at a secondary hull; the warp core vote will determine if we have an engineering hull at all.

This is our second warp 8 ship, it really needs to be able to keep up, and it would be very good if after this we can give it some decent armaments, and despite what others have said, if it's able to take care of all planetary survey duties, I think that'd be a bonus, not feature creep.
Edit: I've vacillated twice now. Going to make this edit then step away and enjoy the results either way.

Trust me when I say that any time I want to indulge in spite, there will be absolutely no room for doubt.
As it is, I was merely remarking on how it seems silly to me to use the new Warp 8 engine and immediately start cutting away at the speed it offers.

Smol ship go brrrr. We should follow the Fletcher doctrine and drown the stars in ships.

With the engineering section (and landing capability, possibly) this ship is turning out to be something of a TOS intrepid class equivalent. As such a prime universe Constitution style fit would do it well (since the intrepid was a punchy ship), when it comes time, three phaser banks and a RFL forward would give an alpha just short of the prime Constitution.

This is our second ever warp 8 starship (first if you don't count the Excalibur, as it's a joint work), to sacrifice on maximum warp is a mistake, especially when a good part of our old fleet is going to get savaged and is incompatible with the warp 8 engine.
Depending on how SanFran goes with the defence satellite project it may also be the only non-Excalibur warp 8 design flying around for 9 or so years after its completion.

It's not just the max cruise, as I understand it the inline deflector will eat up some module space and lacking an engineering hull will cost us even more module space. We need lots of modules to fit all the science labs we're going to want.

It seems like bridge clearance might stop the deflector from having an engineering hull on the top side. Not sure if there's an actual reason in universe but "we don't want to shoot really powerful energy beams that close to our command crew" could make sense. This would be a cool time to make a bridge that wasn't at the top exterior which would be neat. Keep both blisters/expansions top side and then either shove the bridge to the lower front or else bury it somewhere in the middle of the ship. Not a classic Trek feel but I believe something like that could still fit in the setting while design experimentation is happening.
Let's make things interesting (visually).
