a) brake / handbrake problems.

That is concerning. And odd, given that there's no need for the
braking systems to be other than standard Wrightbus kit. Are other
Wrightbus vehicles affected?

b) slow acceleration meaning risk of misjudging moves into traffic.

A professional driver needs to drive to the capability of their
vehicle. Perhaps reduced acceleration will stop the passengers being
thrown around by way of aggressive acceleration, often unnecessarily
so. So this, while perhaps a design flaw, is not in and of itself
dangerous. Professional drivers shouldn't "misjudge moves into
traffic" whatever they are driving. It is their professional role not
to.

c) the electrical system failing meaning loss of steering control -
this has happened umpteen times.

*Loss* of steering control, or just loss of power-assist? I didn't
think fly-by-wire steering was permissible, while it should be possible
to pull the vehicle over safely (if heavily) to the kerb and stop if
power-assist is lost.

(a) is a concern if true, (b) and (c) are just inconveniences, which
perhaps the driver is simply bored of.
