One thing about the RC is that they are in a weird spot between the player base and WOTC. If they ban to many op cards, WOTC will come up with their own Commander rules and new players will find those first and the RC will fall out of existence.
This is why they should only act, whenever they are needed the most.
As I only play in one isolated group, with an implicit banlist ("Cards must not be as OP as Cyclonic Rift or stronger") I can't tell, wether there are really problematic cards as of right now.
However I would advise for keeping it as it is.
Fetches: They are very strong and their purpose is to allow for really op mana bases.
Hybrid Mana: The idea of the color identity is to ristrict what you can do, to the color pie. A gruul card is red AND green, so it should not enter a rakdos deck.
One Ring: No opinnion.
