The only part of MAPS 3 I'd consider vital is the streetcar system, then because public transportation is what separates the true metropolitan centers from the minor-league cities, and OKCs is terrible. The park and convention center are the eye candy portion, and everything else is designed to get votes.
I agree that the streetcar system is the most important, for all the reasons you and others have outlined, but eye candy is good too. We don't have enough of it here, and we've got to create our own, not having natural "eye candy" to fall back on.
