Holodecks on Discovery? makes sense for an upgrade:

Entek: "Some snacks maybe? (to comm) This is Entek. Send me exhibit S-1983-I, immediately. (to Kira) Did you know that the Obsidian Order saves everything that comes into its possession? You never know what might come in handy."

Kira: ".... no thanks."
well they already had a proto holodeck before so they just upgraded it
Bring on the awful deranged victorians
They already had a basic holographic training suite, so it seems like a sensible addition.

Here are some predictions (just IMO, I have no inside info):
Rest of season 3 will still be about the Burn. Federation remains in disarray.
Season 4 will about the rebirth of the Federation, kind of like ENT season 4 was about the Birth of the Federation. Earth, Nivar, Andor will rejoin.

This route would certainly fit the show's current storytelling approach, assuming that it will continue what Season 3 has given us: ongoing character arcs combined with an overarching mystery box against a planet-of-the-week backdrop. I can imagine stories that take us to many worlds while also opening up politics, intrigue, and social issues for plot material.
Would they even need holodecks? We saw on "Calypso" the bridge become one. Surely everyone's quarters can be too?
Then again, they used the transporter room last episode when anyone can instantly teleport anywhere sooooooo

The transporter room, especially as built on a classic ship like Discovery, is a reception room, meant to receive visitors and direct them to their quarters or the reception hall or wherever. It's also likely that the Nivarites (and most visitors) don't wear personal transporters and rely on their own transport specialists or Discovery's.
Not to mention that you probably would want safeguards around a personal transporter system which can prevent unauthorized people from, you know, beaming a torpedo straight onto the bridge. It would make perfect sense if only starfleet authorized personal transporters are even capable of working outside the transporter room (and maybe sickbay for emergencies).

Indeed, yes. Like authorizing devices on to a network.
A few miscellaneous questions:
1. Is there an in-universe explanation for how Burnham went from being quasi-Vulcan to the fully emotional human she is in S3. (The out-of-universe reason being,I presume, that quasi-Vulcan Burnham was kinda boring.)
2.Do we know where specifically on Earth Burnham is from?
3. Is there an in-universe reason why Nuevo Starfleet does not simply replicate the spore drive? They have the blueprints, Stamets, tech to make whatever they want, etc. Shouldn't they have already equipped the entire fleet with the device by now? (The out-of-universe reason being, of course, that if they did, Discovery would be irrelevant)
4. Since Romulus is now part of the Nuevo Federation, can/does Nuevo Starfleet develop cloaking tech and use it widely? It would seem so -- the Federation headquarters seemingly is cloaked, and the Treaty of Algernon was the only thing stopping the Federation from going that route.

I think they're working on it, but it may take some time, especially since you need to grow all those fancy spores. Also, wouldn't they have to genetically alter other people to be pilots? Is that still forbidden?
She was already not-emotionless in the beginning of Season 1 (see the Lethe flashback for truly emotionless Michael). The assumption is that her seven years on the Shenzhou taught her how to emote again, and the three years of crazy adventures has pretty much wiped away all the Vulcan stoicism (which I would've preferred... but I'm not one of those Anti-Cryers).
She's not. She's from the colony world of Doctari Alpha. "The Girl Who Made the Stars" implied that she had San tribal ancestry (Southern Africa), and her English last name implies African-American or Black British ancestry, but South Africa seems reasonable.
Maybe they have? Or they're working on it? The last people they would tell would be the Discovery guys. Give them busy work while they perfect the calculations and dig up some Dark Energy.
Romulus left 100 years ago with the other Ni'Varites. But, yeah, we can assume without any evidence to the contrary that Starfleet uses cloaking technology frequently. Book uses it, others as well, and of course, the FHQ is in a distortion field that probably counts as a cloak.
Overuse of cloaking technology, especially to hide from those dastardly pirates, is probably the best explanation as to why Mr. Sahil hasn't been able to spot any Starfleeters from his listening post.
Those were easy questions. Bring on the hard ones.
Don't read if you are prone to being too serious or have a stick up your butt 
I know what caused the burn.
It was a cascading feedback loop generated from all the emotions of Michael Burnham through series 2 and all of series 3 that filtered back in time from the final moment of the final episode of season 3 and caused all the dilithium to go inert causing the ships to go boom, and that's how the burn happened.

I binged through S1-2 quickly and they didn't leave that much of an impression. But it seemed to me that she still aspired to emotion suppression through most of them, and that it is only this season where she has no particular inhibitions about emotion whatsoever.
According to Memory Alpha, she was born on Earth.
It seems like duplicating the spore drive physically should not be a difficult task. I suppose the admiral could be straight-up lying/hiding things, but as of a couple episodes, Discovery was said to be the only option as a rapid-response ship to go to whatever world that was having problems with the Emerald Chain.
Yep, my bad, that as of S3, Romulus has come and gone from the Federation.
