I think the critical and nice to have may vary a little depending on person. I will make a new release soon (0.8) as I would like to get more people testing stuff. Selection and residues, along with some rendering features seem most critical to me (we have stick but it has a rendering bug I need to dig into). I would like to expose the transfer function editor from VTK, and finish off the volume rendering piece but would put that firmly in nice to have.
This has languished more than I would like, so apologies from me for not having as much time as I had hoped. There are some great features in there, but UI polish is needed to make it more accessible. It is orders of magnitude faster loading initial data, and rendering it, for large systems, but the interface is missing some key pieces (some already fixed) which led to me delaying 0.8. I think your list is a good yard stick, and just like with 1.0 we will possibly wait too long, but know it when we see it. I had hoped to have it a year ago, and am determined to make it happen. I think a test run on Qt 5 deployment will be valuable (it was working for me on Mac and Windows when I tried it last time. I am blown away by over 600,000 downloads since our first release of Avogadro, and over 400 citations of our paper. I want to get some momentum going again, and hope we have even more ideas to put into a Google Summer of Code proposal next year.
