A flyable Blenheim is at the top of my wish list, for all the reasons you mentioned. Additionally, it gives the Finns an early war bomber type before they got Ju-88s.
A flyable Wellington would be a bigger task, but it would be the natural prey for the Bf-110G-4 NJ, should that plane ever be released.

A flyable Beaufort gives the Australians another bomber variant for SW Pacific scenarios. It also gives the UK/Commonwealth a hugely important type for early North African/Mediterranean campaigns.

Agreed. Sea Hurricane would probably be the easier aircraft to add, since it would require just the addition of a tailhook, and slight modifications to the control panel and/or cockpit.
Flyable Beauforts, Blenheims, Swordfish and/or Wellingtons would also open up a lot of possibilities for early to mid-war English Channel scenarios, since all those types were used. Strategically, 1941-43 English Channel Operations were unimportant, but they are an interesting, forgotten portion of the air war.
