Decade's significance in Zi-O is tied to him being an existing character. In an adaption, he'd be just some guy like Sheriff Skyfire or Captain Chaku. May as well cut him out of the plot than try and justify his presence.

If we are talking about Kuuga, then I would say keep the Growing Form and all subsequent forms, but table the iconic Mighty Form! Controversial to be sure, but that red chest armor will ALWAYS be associated with Kuuga!

In that case, I would like to make Hurricane Style and Flying Falcon the main forms for Wizard and Zero One adaptions!

While I do ship Nick/Madison, I feel like it would be tedious to have another romance spawn another new hero. We already have JJ. Maybe Claire could be Wizard's teacher, like Tsubasa in Ninninjer.

"Another Rider" Kaijn have the original Rider names and the years the show they represent debuted during printed on their bodies. Wouldn't make a lot of sense in an adaptation done years later unless you have a convoluted plot device try to explain it.

Well, for example, Another Den-O has 2007 and 2019 versions, so I guess it should be easy to change or remove the text. Might have to shoot more exclusive footage though.

Symbol Power! Go Go Kamen Rider!

I mean, if kanji can work for PRS, then kana can work for Zi-O.
