Stock launchers are specifically mentioned in the FAQ as apps that should be tagged as Advanced. The app adjustment screen might be important enough to change the classification, but the most important of the features in this screen (A2 refresh mode) can be activated system wide via Quick Settings. As far as I have searched, nobody seems to tweak the other options.

Might need a change.

Modern Android features are not as independent as they used to be, and too tied together to be removing gallery/launcher/cloud/keyboard/browser/settings.

Might need a change.

As in we may want to change the Wiki or all removals of launchers?

If that is the case for newer devices, then the guidelines in the wiki should be changed, yeah. But for these particular apps and Likebook devices, I don't think this is a problem.

I am not sure about this one. Removing the file manager does not break any important functionality in the device and it can be replaced by another alternative which will not look as nice on e-ink but will have all the same functionality or more. Following the FAQ, it looks like it should be classified as Advanced.

Removing the file manager breaks the functionality that allows you to manage your files. 🤔
Same reason Camera would likely be expert.

But you can restore the functionality by installing another file manager, either before removing the stock one or later using adb install. I could add a note in the description reminding users to do so.

Also, the Downloads app in this device (com.android.downloads.provider.ui, tagged as Advanced as well) also works as a file manager, after enabling the "Show internal storage" option. This could also be noted in the description.

There are a few camera apps tagged as Expert (like com.tcl.camera and com.motorola.odm.camera3), but the majority is tagged as Advanced.
