Thanks for this analysis, great job! Everything makes sense, but for me, the ONLY thing that matters are "Clipped buildings at city edges"  ;)
so for me Peasant Revolts is C3

Sorry for arguing and provoking a discussion ...  >:D

Decar:
Round corners vary on publisher and print run. There are a few early v2.1 editions that have rounded corners, so I don't think it can be used as a differentiator.
I think the best metric for v3 is any tile that Marcel Gröber was involved with the design of.  There's a definite shift in design when they joined the team.

Bumsakalaka:
Gifts
images of cities has not dark roof on cards (at least on promo picture) but Monastery is new design

Meepledrone:
Halflings has the first incursion in overflowing cities, as you can see here. It does not happen to all the tiles...

Black roofs appeared with the 20th Annivesary edition. The C3 base game = 20th Anniversary Edition - flags - Easter eggs.
