Any other redundancies folks can think of? (Except of course for those
1x1x5 and 1x2x5 bricks.)

Hi Gary,
if you stack 5 bricks together it will not be quite stably, so the 5 high
bricks make a sence for me.

I used to think the same, until I came to build the drawbridge mechanism.

A stack of five 1x2 bricks has 4 more “ridges” than a single 1x2x5 brick which
puts just enough extra friction on the beam that it will not fall under gravity.
So the 1x2x5 bricks that make up sides of the slot for the each beam arm are
essential. As are the ones inside beside the doors (that you can’t see) that
the coupling bars slide up on.
