I think it's more a case of they are assembled on Fridays..
For instance, Captainlips diffs are a classic example, where on inspection all the threads were stripped in the diff housing, and he wondered why things were going out of mesh and gears were stripping.
If you disregard the builder errors, it would be fair to say there are no more issues than would be expected of any mass produced kit. And for every customer that reported on a forum that they had a problem, I'm sure there are hundreds of satisfied customers.
As for the original poster, don't regret your purchase, just resolve your little niggles as the chassis is great.
As Jimmy has suggested above, problems 1 & 3 will almost certainly be related, as the bearings should be running true on the axis of the spur/slipper assy. Have you checked that you have not cross threaded the rear (long) drive cup??
Problem 2, take your choice of seals available and advised on this forum, but I am running standard X rings with no issues.
As for the plastic driveshaft rings, think of them as a safety device for people who can't build CVD's
