I think how good of a fit it is will be very kid-dependent
For my 2e ds12, I'd say #2,4,7 have been very big challenges. #5 happens but not "often" (but often enough to cause him to try to hide it...) (otoh, probably not as much as he's teased for the other e part of his 2e). #8, he's certainly uber-aware of the world's problems, much more so than a typical kid.... otoh, he's not terribly worried about them.
I kinda like the strategy used here for discussing among the kids... not sure I can see that my ds would be interested in it though, for this particular set of discussion topics.
