I wonder if the ordering goes: Easter eggs and callbacks, humor, plot. Any opinions on this?
Story prioritizes

How about a more detailed post outlining what exactly it is you're trying to say?
Doesn't matter to me because I've found the plots to be pretty strong and entertaining throughout the first season. Keep up that order if we continue to get the quality from the show that we have so far.
I believe the episodes pack in as many references as they consistently can. Humor maybe is a part of it or just a overall theme. The plot is subservient to the previous two points.
I think it's fairly clear what the OP is trying to say: that the writing team supposedly emphasizes Easter eggs as first priority, all the way down to plot as the lowest priority.
The only plot that didn't work for me was Temporal Edict. Pretty much everyone in that one had to act like an idiot for it to work: Freeman had to be stupid to react so extremely to buffer time to maintain her new policy in the face of an invasion, her crew had to be stupid to not raise the issue with her before or even after everything went south, the Away Team had to be stupid to not just beam off the planet and away from captivity.

I find that plots on LDS tend to be more coherent and satisfying than picard’s or discovery’s...
Well, then I'll echo the sentiment that as long as it's entertaining, who cares? That's all that matters to me when the episode is done, was it entertaining? If the answer is yes, then the show is a success. The fact each episode is loaded with easter eggs and callbacks is neither here nor there.
