Hello thank you for doing this. Very happy to that save dialogues will be expanded by default!

One suggestion:

replace

# Hide Spotlight tray-icon (and subsequent helper)
#sudo chmod 600 /System/Library/CoreServices/Search.bundle/Contents/MacOS/Search

with

# Hide Spotlight tray-icon and disable ⌘-space keyboard shortcut. 
#sudo chmod 600 /System/Library/CoreServices/Search.bundle/Contents/MacOS/Search

because

this more accurately describes the total effect
spotlight itself still available by other means, it is not disabled rather less convenient

how to get spotlight back

And in case anyone ever comes looking for it, here is a method to reverse it

killall SystemUIServer
sudo chmod 755 /System/Library/CoreServices/Search.bundle/Contents/MacOS/Search
killall SystemUIServer
