Did you read my messages or did you just misunderstand? Half of what you criticize I've never said.
Remember to be polite. But yes, I'm not interested in making a new Serbo-Croatian.

* It's a centum language between Balto-Slavic and Indo-Iranian, which I guess is possible but maybe slightly weird.
Satem/centum is not that areal. Tocharian! Languages generally go around much more than peoples.

* It retains all three tense/aspects, including the reduplicated perfect, which is very "eastern" (i.e. Greek, Indo-Iranian)
It does not? It loses PIE Imperfect. The perfect taking the meanings of the imperfect is maybe typologically uncommon but not unnatural I think.

Meanwhile it has the full e/a/o trinity left untouched, which is more typical of southern Europe.
Where do I say so?

The inflected nouns are pretty wild. Are those just null-derived denominal verbs?
See Mordovian verbs! Turkic does not go far either. The endings are just ego, tu ... fused and appear in nouns only.
It's a matter of analyses if they are verbs or nouns or something between. But basically they are just a noun + pronoun, and analogically reduplicalian for Past.

Either way, is it deliberate that the perfect and the imperfect use the same endings?
What do you even mean with "the perfect" and "the imperfect"? I have surely said nothing about their endings.

The sound changes feel very random and not indicative of the region. No aspiration of s or RUKI rule. Labialization moved to the vowel. A Greek-style /x, k, G/ realization of stop rows.
OK. You are free to make a Serbo-Croatian.

Honestly, it sounds like you don't have any interest in placing the language in Eastern Europe. Why not just put it on a fictional island somewhere?
Because there you cannot play with any influence.
Of course, this needs a fictional history. Conlangs are fiction.
