I think I mostly agree with you, but two nitpicks: 1. Allowing anti-vaxxers to have and discuss their ideas should be (and is?) allowed. But perhaps the risk to society is high enough that vaccination should be mandatory. I don't know enough to believe this strongly, but from what I understand the risks are there. 2. I always thought the 'rumspringa' approach was nice, but I've come to believe that it's deceptive, whether intentional or not. Throwing a teen into the deep end with no experience of the 'real world' strikes me as a very clever way to give them an experience that is intense, and perhaps usually skewed in favor of returning to the fold. It reminds me of the 'cool' speakers I was inundated with as an evangelical teen: they would talk about their 'worldly' lives filled with drugs, sex and booze, and how they ended up in various horrible situations and, obviously, how we should just avoid it altogether. What I learned later in life is that drugs, booze and sex are various degrees of danger, but also awesome. And because I 'went in' with a good amount of experience and education, a decent childhood, and at a slightly older age, for the most part none of these things actively harmed me.
