Does "now" mean that 2.11 is out?? (Just checked: obviously, the answer is "no". Ok sorry.)

I dont find the things you mentioned to be logical inconsistencies.
A logical inconcistency, however, could be the fact that money can be used by all persons in all provinces everywhere simultaneously, that the "lab" is manifested everywhere at once (along with your money) but resources arent, that I can alchemize gems to money in province Q and use that money to build a temple somewhere completely different. I think these are all fine for game and balance reasons, but it is sort of funny.
