Nice letter 👍
Also nice ideas i would like to see implemented in the game.
Unfortunately, some of them are impossible or too difficult to implement (like seasons and underground).
Seas definitely need more attention. Devs were talking about reworking/upgrading ocean biome. That will probably come as the last update so I believe we need to keep talking about it. I hope new ships will come earlier.
Also mini bosses are great idea and have been suggested a lot of times. I hope devs have this under consideration.
What i believe we need to encourage sailing and exploring are POIs. Something that we need to conquer like towers, bridges, lighthouses, more dungeons with minibosses at the end. Trader could sell maps for these.
Thank you, I do realize this are all dream scenarios.

The underground and initial seasons idea, is quite lofty in the engine true.
But a scaled back version might be something that could be done, like seasons could simply be a lean on the current weather. The underground might just be some shapes of rocks that makes building under them tempting. ^^

But like you I love the sea faring, the current sinking islands are awesome. I was wondering if a single never sinking wandering island could be a thing. Like the merchant it would be another unique thing to find, maybe add some hard to find stuff on it's back. But due to it's ever moving nature it's something you happen upon.

About dungeons, could it be like ever generating things where they have a end. But you could spend resources to expand it with another path deeper (New instance), meaning that you could when you find the right dungeon make it really large so that you could farm it. (I'm just spewing stuff now.)
