But can we have a movie where it's all team banter? My god, I love the team banter in this movie.

Yes! The team banter was unquestionably my favorite part of the movie. I would be so excited to watch a movie all about the Avengers hanging around at a dinner party. Well, I guess that's why we have fanfic.

I'm 99% sure that Steve and Sam's "missing person" refers to Bucky. Steve must be searching for his brainwashed best friend after CA: TWS, so if he is too busy Avenging to search full time then it makes sense that he would enlist Sam to help.

I thought from the trailers that the film would be doing some Natasha/Bruce romantic tension, but I was somewhat surprised that it was so out in the open. The ship makes sense to me, at least in terms of Nat's fascination with Bruce: Bruce is simultaneously a gentler soul than almost all her other friends, and a monster that she feels is similar to her own darker aspects. My heart ships Natasha/Clint, but I can still enjoy the love story the film gave us.

I'm still disoriented about Clint owning a farm and being married, since the comics have so firmly associated him in my brain with living in New York with Pizza Dog, fucking up relationships and drinking coffee straight from the pot. I don't even know how to feel about this change for the cinematic universe, because my brain keeps getting stuck. Hawkeye with kids? Appearing to have his life remarkably together? Does not compute! I did love that he has apparently brought Natasha here before, getting her in touch with the normal, nurturing life she has never had. You have a good point that having a family (including a pregnant wife) would often be a recipe for death, so I'm really glad the film didn't go there.
