While your idea about Balkans formable is not bad, Yugoslavia - or "Illyria" - being that formable is just nonsensical. It just is.

The Americas are in most need of an overhaul in terms of regions, followed by probably the Caucasus and the Arabian peninsula.
"Asia" being, you know, quite large, populous, and diverse. It's in the foreground because much of it has been ignored for a long time. That's not to say other areas shouldn't be looked at too, but comparing "Asia" to "Palestine" in terms of development priority is a bit fallacious.
I'll ask an opposing question, why does every Slav suggesting something Panslavic in EU4 always say this phrase?
I generally like multiculturalism in EU4, and adding more provinces is rather nice, especially for the Eastern Europe regions.
Creating fantasy kingdoms based on the 19th-20th ideas and forming them is also fun, but somewhat ahistorical, although takes place (Romania, Scandinavia, etc.)
Well, depends on about whom we talking. Poles liked it until Russia became leader of it. I can't recall if czechs were happy about all this stuff, but East Slavic group and South Slavs were in pretty good relations.
The only person from the Balkans I ever talked to told me that panslavism was a serb invention to rule over the region and repressed everyone else.
I do not know whether it's true or not, however it is clear that they do not all love each other...
Well... on papers of the so-called leader... at the very least...
I'm sceptical about creating new fantasy empires or those that don't fit in EU4 timeframe. Still, there's Scandinavia, Italy, Germany and Roman Empire in the game, so what do I know.
About new mechanics for Sejm - I personally think it's not relevant enough to create new mechanics for it. Current Elective Monarchy and Sejm-related events cover it well enough.
Although adding Lusatian culture and moving Pomeranian and Slovak to West Slavic is actually a good idea. Also, I would rename current Lithuanian to Samogitian or Žemaitijan and make Belorussian a primary culture for Lithuania.
As for new provinces in eastern Europe, I'm all for it.

At this point rather than focusing on one region of the world, we need some serious late game content improvements.
1.22 should get new muslim-christianity war mechanics. New caliph mechanics and crusade mecanics would be fun.
I don't know about any crusade mechanics, crusades are something from the medieval age which clearly is better suited for CK2 IMO.
Think before speaking. Both Italy and Germany were each an unification of a one nation split between numerous principalities. Pan-Slavic Empire would be an unification of several nations split between numerous countries. What's more giving this formable every Slavic culture as accepted is a non-sense. Russia tried to unite all Slavs, but did Russians want to share power with Poles? Of course not! It was just a pretext for increasing Russian influence in the Central Europe and for landgrab. Nothing else.
My ideas like the Slav Empire are imperialist ideas. Never happened to them. Even in those days they would have been possible. For example, Russia wants to "unite" the Slavs to have more influence in the Balkans and over the Baltic. The game is already Scandinavia, why can not be other such powerful countries. And besides, it would be interesting to manage such a country and conduct wars with other such empires.

In fact, Lithuania has undergone Belarusianization, but I think it is better not to "get rid" of Lithuanian culture. It is not worth changing the name of Lithuanian culture.
I am also in favor of developing Palestine - more provinces, Hebrew culture, Judaism (at least in Jerusalem) and a new state to create - the Kingdom of Jerusalem.
