Also instant distributions (ICOs and coin drops) are antithetical to developing a critical mass and a successful coin (Ethereum avoided this by adding PoW mining distribution to follow their ICO).

Probably not. The amount of PoW distribution in Ethereum is quite small compared to the ICO. The "initial distribution" effects discussed at the above link are dominated by the ICO.
