In future we may need a fluid grid editor to remain relevant. Squarespace introduced fluid grid with editor 7.1 in July 2022. It is now available for new sites (which I have tried), and for existing sites if users choose to trigger a complex, irreversible and potentially buggy migration (which I have not tested).
Fluid grid means:
grape.js has a grid plugin which satisfies the first requirement (see https://github.com/artf/grapesjs/issues/3407, included in node package of grape.js plugins https://www.npmjs.com/package/grapesjs-plugin-toolbox?activeTab=readme)

Decide how to implement. Implement.
The challenges in JS, CSS, and possibly in Drupal API, are likely to be large, and it is new technology. On the other hand, others have achieved it using grape.js outside Drupal. Clients who have seen it on Squarespace will start to expect it. Therefore, we should start thinking about it.
New drag and drop resizing of grid-based blocks within the editor layout.
None.
To be researched.
Ideally we need keyboard drag and drop and keyboard resizing for users who cannot use a mouse. In the case of accessibility for visually impaired users, it is a question whether making a visual editor accessible is appropriate or possible, and specialist input on this question would be useful. A screen reader readout, triggered with a keypress, stating which area the cursor is in, is thinkable.

A fluid grid editor is key for staying relevant, as demonstrated by Squarespace's 7.1 update. It offers dynamic drag-and-drop resizing of blocks and flexible layouts. Using grape.js could help integrate this, though challenges with JS, CSS, and Drupal compatibility exist. Accessibility for visually impaired users is also a concern.
