Also don't forget about the WiFi being enabled eating the battery flat from 100 in <day.

Would be nice if the root cause of that can be fixed, so one does not have to manually disable/enable WiFi all the time.

If it can't be fixed I guess a crude workaround like this could be implemented:
- add option to automatically turn WiFi off 10 minutes after screen has been turned off
- automatically re-enable WiFi when screen is turned on again

That should help reduce WiFi related power consumption issues in idle to a minimum. Downside: The tablet is offline when the the screen is off.
