You bring up some good suggestions.
Cores heating could indeed start a bit earlier when we use your method. The current implementation is a bit optimized, but very simple, it starts heating the cores when the build plate is 5C from the target temperature. Using your method we could save about 10 seconds. Nice, but not overwhelming for a print preparation process which takes anywhere from 1 to 10 minutes (depending on bed temperature).
I'll bring this to the attention of the developers, but they have a list of 350 open tickets for the firmware and I'm afraid this suggestion will end up on the lower end of that list.
The bed level probing can't be done while the bed is heating because the whole printer continues to deform for at least 30 minutes after the bed is at the desired temperature. Deformation is not only because the build plate is heating up, but the whole printer is slowly heating up and this process continues for a long time. For good adhesion of the first layer we are talking about a required precision < 0.1mm, and that's why we want to have as little time between the probing and the start of the print.
The larger the printer, the larger this effect.
The annoying this about having to walk to the printer to confirm the "Reprint? yes/no" question is known and on the list of things to fix. It's part of old code when it wasn't possible to use the printer remotely, which is now the most used method.

In the Cura 5.8 stable release, everyone can now tune their Z seams to look better than ever. Method series users get access to new material profiles, and the base Method model now has a printer profile, meaning the whole Method series is now supported in Cura!
We are happy to announce the next evolution in the UltiMaker 3D printer lineup: the UltiMaker Factor 4 industrial-grade 3D printer, designed to take manufacturing to new levels of efficiency and reliability. Factor 4 is an end-to-end 3D printing solution for light industrial applications
