I fully read and enjoyed your book. I did a brief write up of my thoughts here #328661 a while back which may be helpful (apologies if it's a bit abrasive.)
From memory, I think my main criticism is that the games you outline for Bitcoin failure modes only think one step ahead.
There's little focus on counter measures, of which there are a vast array, to the challenges outlined in your textbook.
Focusing on the nodes as stakeholders in consensus here and elsewhere is of great interest, which I feel was largely unfocused on. This is an oversight.

Nodes are the beating heart of Bitcoin.
I look forward to 2.0 !
