Please, no. I'm a server administrator, and I like to know that the
keys do what they are suppossed to do. In Caps Lock case, to lock
capitals on. I do not know who are those "most server administrators",
but when I need a Control key, I use a Control key. AND it is against
the "least surprise" priciple.

Absolutely yes.

Again, please no. The key should do whatever it is intended to do,
whatever it is. If and when somebody uses it, it must work. In X, it
can be mapped to some screenshot program. (And again, "least surprise")

Devuan is about choice. Let our users decide if they want X server
started by default or not.
