Suggestions on the main improvements

Kaspersky is the only traditional security I prefer; it's exceptional, including its stability.
Idk what u meant by traditional security. Did you mean default deny? Because Kaspersky has both cloud‑assisted and ML detections.
 
You have Kaspersky so I think you're good. If you think you need to replace NPE then use Eset Online Scanner.
Does EOS play nice with Kaspersky?

EEK or KVRT
Already using EEK along with NPE. Using KVRT alongside Kaspersky Standard doesn't make sense as they both use same signatures/technolgy.

Edit: Trying out Eset Online Scanner now.
