But, despite the list, it's still a good game and that's why I will eventually multibox it after it's F2P. It's just not as enticing and I would bet that most people who had multiboxed WoW over the years (and liked multiboxing WoW) would tell you the same thing if they played RIFT.
There are plenty of other F2P MMOs out there that you can multibox very well. They haven't been overrun with multiboxers either. There are much more fundamental hurdles to multiboxing than the cost of a subscription.

Personally I much prefer multiboxing Rift over WoW. I can't stand the silly graphics in WoW anymore, and I much prefer the flexible class spec system in Rift. I like Rift's in-game macro system better too.

All your points are correct, but none of them matters to me. Not having IWT or CTM may make it harder to play melee classes, but I didn't do that in WoW either. Rift's /interact, /assist and /follow commands are enough for me.
