💯
Obviously, the inputs and outputs must make sense from the privacy standpoint in terms of amounts - there can’t be 0.8 BTC output which would be easily linked to User C. The coordinator’s task would be to identify such cases and reject them.
It is even possible to do it with equal size outputs. No change amounts involved in the coinjoin transaction. No coordinator required.
Joinstr protocol allows users to create pools with custom denominations and number of peers.
In some cases it's better to avoid paying third parties in coinjoin transactions. Payjoin or Octojoin works better in such situations because less or no coordination and transactions look normal.
Joinstr will use aut-ct for sybil resistance. Recently waxwing fixed some things to make python bindings possible and will be added in next release of electrum plugin.
Joinstr actually works and has no directory nodes like joinmarket or fidelity bonds requirement.
Wasabi is the worst possible way to do coinjoin.
Isn't it non-standard to use uncompressed keys in inputs?
Kicking trolls is avoiding DoS attacks but sybil attacks are different in which attackers will participate in each round to deanonymize others.

Normally users ask for bitcoin address when they need to pay someone. In this case it would be npub. So P2N (pay to npub)

User input validation could be done for both sender and recipient to avoid such issues. Ideally this should be integrated in wallets so that users don't need to manually enter technical details like UTXO.
