There is actually a little of this in Build 29, as MrEckyman demonstrated - they certainly could expand on that, though. If they kept the separate sound effects for hitting and killing and the separate models for dead and fallen, but had a random chance of a knocked-down zombie waiting to get up until a survivor approached (or until a meta-event or other sufficiently loud noise)...
 
 
I like your suggestions a lot, original or not. Especially the storm drain and sewer backup problems. I was already thinking that farming would benefit from modeling drainage and water retention (it should be possible to find places outdoors in Kentucky to plant carrots where they won't drown from ordinary amounts of rain), but now I'm imagining flash floods and other fun times blindsiding the unprepared survivor. A tornado hitting your house specifically should be very unlikely, but there are definitely parts of the map that would be more or less prone to flooding, and paths across the map that will have water flowing down to the river from rain and snowmelt. (And perhaps survivors trying to collect water from these currents and getting bit....)
 
Also, sudden thought: there are dams on the Ohio River. West Point is between the Cannelton Dam and McAlpine. In a zombie apocalypse situation, maintenance and operation of those dams is going to go completely to pot. I imagine that there is some emergency plan for what to do if the dam has to be abandoned for a long period of time, but the river is definitely going to grow more unpredictable over time.
 
(Especially the Salt River, just east of downtown West Point, which had annual flooding until the dam was put in. Holy crap. I can't wait.)
 
 
Boredom system revamps would be awesome. Yes, you get bored sitting around in your house all day ... but you also get bored if your days are full of routines: make salad, check perimeter, check crops, check traps, check food stores, check equipment ... at some point, you should go stir-crazy.
 
 
Yes. We have to remember that this is a game, and whether or not the character is bored the players shouldn't be. Take it from me: sometimes, a plant will grow food with almost zero intervention from you.
 
(On a related note, I think untreated problems should sometimes go away on their own. Let someone see that their crops have mildew and start praying for dry enough weather to bake the mildew to death so they don't have to use up more of their precious mildew spray.)
 
 
These are really good suggestions. I think the devs were opposed to forcing players to deal with routine hygiene (like Viceroy pointed out, we don't want to bore the players), but especially when zombie guts are involved, contamination is a huge factor in your ongoing health.
 
And carrying twenty bowls of water in a duffelbag without any of them spilling is definitely ridiculous. Make people use their primary and secondary slots if they want to transport open containers of liquid - probably both, if they're moving cooking pots. Let them use a thermos (or water bottle, or whisky bottle, or...) if they want soup on the road.
 
And open containers of water (including rainwater collectors) should be breeding pools for mosquitoes, fungi, bacteria, and all sorts of other goodies unless they are regularly emptied and allowed to dry. (Or treated with water purification tablets ... or a little bit of that whisky...)
 
And water, soil, residues, &c. should be the primary problem you have with your firearms. Any competently-designed weapon (and incompetently designed weapons probably aren't going to turn up in-game for years) should be good for tens of thousands of rounds over its lifespan if it is kept clean. Almost any weapon - even the legendary AK-47, and the official assault rifle of Project Zomboid should probably be the M14 instead - will start jamming, misfiring, and other such fun times if not kept clean. Edit: You should be able to find cleaning kits in most houses that have firearms (and a very few that do not, because the resident left with their gun), and you should find loads at the gun shop in West Point.

Ok, it's my turn to say something. 
 
First of all i haven't read all the thread, but i will share my ideas how easily can someone die during the ZA. (sorry for my english)
 
1. Blood and entrails of zombies - when a survivor fight zombies and smashes their heads, their blod spreads everywhere. Weapon, clothes - these things can possibly infect u. And when u use the same kitchen knife to kill a zombie and then u cut your carrot into pieces using it, u should probably turn into a zombie soon.
And what with other weapons like bats, hammers and axes. We are using them to cut trees down, to nail. And what if we hit our finger with the infected hammer.
Bags, bagbacks - if u have multiple weapons, u are probably carrying some in your bag, but what when u find a cooking pan first, smash some brains with it and then in one of the corpses is an axe and u put your pan in a bag full of food, pots with water etc... How high is the chance to get them infected?
 
So.. maybe we could disinfect our stuff and wash ourself to avoid being easily zombified.
Or using another weapons to fight (bats) and other to build (hammers, axes).
 
2. Hygiene - some of u can survive for months, having huge reserves of water and food. But no one washes himself. Shouldn't the stink of dirty body attract zombies?
And what with illneses? Lack on hygiene leads to them.
To wash our bodies we need more water so we must decide whether we wan't to water plants or wash our bloody hands and axe or drink something.
 
3. As i wrote, there should be a possibility to wound, for example when someone is tired, hungry, angry or simply weak. Wounds should be common, because it is impossible to build big fortresses, fight tons of zombies, run dozens of miles without getting any scratch or bruise.
 
4.  I was also thinking about two handed weapons and opening doors or jumping through windows. When u open a door, u can't handle your weapon in both hands, for a few seconds your axe is only in your left or right arm. And windows...
How can a player use a rope to climb down or up with a full bagpack, i think there should be a limit of weight. If your bag is to heavy u can't climb up, and if u try to climb down, u will fall. It should maybe depend on our general condition.
 
5. It should be also impossible to have full pots, bowls or mugs in the inventory (only in hands or prams [baby carriages]).
 
6. And water - the river could be a good source of it but u should maybe collect some sand and coal to filter it and then boil it to kill bacteries and remove other stuff. 
 
 
Think about it next time when u play PZ and after killing a zombie using your kitchen knife u go to the grocery, take an apple and eat it and drink "fresh" water from your pot, that was laying in your bagback under a (bloody) nailed bat. Maybe u should been using gloves during the fight, or u just could avoid this undead woman whose blood wanders now in your veins and turns u slowly into one of them.
 
That are only suggestions and i apologize if they were already mentioned.
