I've enjoyed the series so far, though mostly for the Aussie bowling, you make a lot of good points. Can't agree with Stokes being a comparative loss to Smith. Smith has averaged 65 runs in the past two years. Stokes 37. It would be like us missing Khawaja IMO.
If anything they've missed Stokes' bowling but you're right, his batting stats are nothing to write home about. He does offer the counter punch (pun intended) their brittle middle order has lacked, but that's all on the batting front.
