Autopilot is required to allow swapping between trains. There is an activity on resolving path deadlocks which requires this capability.
Are you going to actually give me a list, though? I am not approving this without vetting the list of settings you can override, I'm afraid, as this is too much of a user-facing area (settings generally).

That is not an acceptable position to take. Users must be in control of the options they are given, without unexpected consequences of activities overriding whatever they please.

Yup, completely agree, but the vast majority of ENG/WAG configuration is not available to the user (and the few options that are, probably shouldn't be).

Not sure on graduated brake release - that should probably be a WAG configuration. View dispatch window is definitely not okay.

Definately not okay.

I don't think most of these should be options, even to the user. Extended AI train shunting should just be a perminant feature. Not happy with advanced adhesion.

Location linked passing paths might be okay (although perhaps it should be a route option?). I don't know what to do with adhesion. :(
Basically, I think this is going in the wrong direction and hacking a "fix" onto the current mess rather than actually making things better.
