By making sure it avoids success at all costs, Haskell is actually one of the more fun programming languages to use in a real-world project. But the additional expressivity you get in Haskell in comparison with more mainstream languages comes at a cost.

1.–4. and 9. You're teaching your stuff in an order that doesn't fit the language you're using :) Just re-order when you introduce what. A very refreshing take on that is used in the book https://atypeofprogramming.com/. It may serve as an inspiration. If you ever encounter "white lies" you know that you'll have to think again. For me as a student there's nothing I hate more than that.
Oh and why do you "introduce the λ-Calculus later"? I mean that's the basically the foundation for functional programming, so that should be introduced as early as possible.
I don't see any indentation in the code snippets in this article at all. Has Substack stripped it away?
