I disagree with several of your points, but I’m just going to address point 5 as it’s plain wrong. That’s not what a Deus Ex Machina is, at all.

Tv tropes calls what you are referring to an Everything Sensor. While it’s bad to overuse any plot device, Everything Sensors do not have the inherent problems Deus Ex Machinas have, especially when they are well established like the Cutie Map is.
