As others have already said, I wish my instructor had spent more time on proper weighting and buoyancy. I also wish a lot more time had been spent on CESA's. Things like mask clearing are important to be comfortable with, but are easily practised by yourself at the safety stop of every dive. Depending on where you dive, learning how to launch a SMB might be helpful?
It's awesome that you are looking at your training in this way.
Probably the best thing you can do for your diving at this stage is to take advantage of the kind offers to dive with experienced and competent people. I know when I first started I didn't even really know what a good diver looked like, which makes it very difficult to become one.
