I found it quite underwhelming, especially considering this is the last season.
Star Wars Rebels Season Four (spoilers)

Not much to say about this one. It felt a little lacking in meat and leaned a little heavy on the action. I know the focus needs to be squarely on Sabine, bit for the re-introduction of Bo-Katan I'd hoped for a little more substance given how little we saw of her in TCW. That part felt a little perfunctory.
Well that's like saying the Death Star was a humane weapon because one could in theory dial the power down and just blow through an enemy's shield generator and engines, forcing a surrender. The bloody thing can still wipe out planets just as Sabine's weapon could still vaporise whole armies, or even civilian populations if adjusted correctly. They can't allow anyone to have that capability. It had to go.
Something bothering me about the ending, so Sabine changes the settings on her weapon so that it targets Imperial armour instead of Mandalorian, which turns the tide of the battle. But what about the officers and crew of the Star Destroyer who don't wear armour? Can't they just join in the fight with the Stormtroopers down?
Maybe they could have, but the generator blew up pretty shortly after that, so there wouldn't have been much time for the non-armored crew and officers to recover from the chaos and organize a response.
I suppose, but you'd think on the hangar deck there should have been plenty of non-armoured personnel present who could quickly jump into the fight.
Shock and awe, man. Seeing every Stormtrooper around you simultaneously felled by the same mysterious force would be pretty terrifying. After all, I doubt most of the crew understood how the weapon worked, let alone how Sabine modified it. They wouldn't have known it was just targeting armor. They wouldn't have known it wouldn't strike them next.

Huh the name of the metal used to make the mandalorian armour comes from the Republic Commando books.

^The name of it does I think, but IIRC the actual concept dates back even earlier to the old Dark Horse TotJ comics. Mind you the concept also included it being resistant to lightsabers, which Lucas put the kibosh on. Understandably so since if you introduce lightsaber kryptonite, pretty soon authors will start to lean on it too much. Which is pretty much what happened with the EU.
Yeah, it is Mandalorion Iron.
That not an Imperial dome, it's the capital city of Sundari and aside from a few modifications it looked pretty much the same in TCW.
Didn't they refer to it in dialogue as an Imperial transport? Or something smaller than a Star Destroyer.
Anyway, we saw in The Clone Wars that the Mandalorian city domes were indeed quite huge, since they had whole cities inside them.
I always had a thought that the U-Wing could have two engines and two guns. Could be an interesting configuration.
That scale really seemed off. Compared to the ships (and they skimmed right along the bottom, so they were definitely full-sized destroyers), it must be more than five miles wide. There should be clouds around it, possibly the curvature of the planet. The ground-level sky backdrops and lack of haze threw things off.
Depending on how messed up Mandalore's atmosphere is, there may not be any moisture clouds that low. Though one might suppose the fact that their cities are sealed domes and the surface is a seemingly sterile wasteland should probable answer that...
Also, from what I recall of the interior shots of the city, that scale seems about right.
