What's your post-flight work flow?
And solving number 3, organizing all those videos in such a way that they don't just sit on an external harddrive, was a hard one. I found the Android TV program Aerial Views and use it to randomly cycle through my raw drone videos on a TV as a screensaver, using a Chromecast (a $30 Android TV gizmo). It works really well and has really helped me keep track of all the videos I've watched. Which also helps me see the mistakes I made while flying.

My system to play my raw drone footage on a TV as a screensaver
Then I use the awesome Android TV program Aerial Views to actually play the videos. I gather it's modelled after the screensaver on an Apple TV, so maybe an Apple TV would work well for this whole process too. In Aerial Views I go to "Video Sources" in Settings and disable all the stock footage (though the stock footage is nice too). That's the "videos by apple", the "videos by jetson creative" and "videos by Robin Fourcade". Then I enable either Local or Network videos and tell it where my videos are.

Is there anyone using Aerial dreams and having issues with screensavers loading? It keeps saying "Loading Aerial..." and going nowhere. I downloaded Aerial Views which is similar and their Apple sources are doing the same. Turn Apple off and the community sources load fine.
Also, although Aerial Views doesn't show up in the Play Store on your phone, it should still work if you want to side-load the APK.

List of customizations for Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K Max
Aerial Views: This is an open-sourced Android TV screensaver that streams screensavers from Apple TV's screensaver server. These are the cool, moving videos that you will see on all Apple TV box screensavers. Takes up a lot of data so beware of that, I personally do 4K SDR quality with this app. This is also on the Play Store. (Github)
