Since the devs are willing to update the mission trees a bit and are already tweaking the Spanish missions, I would just like to suggest two minor changes.
My problem lies specifically with two missions: "Expel the Moriscos" and "Spanish Netherlands". Both of which are somewhat ahistorical to different degrees.
The problem with the former is that it was intended to make use of the controversial Expel Minority mechanic that came with Golden Century. However, that mechanic has changed a bit and the mission is now rather useless. Furthermore, Andalusians ≠ Moriscos, so it makes no sense to expel a culture that is around today.
The problem with the latter is just that it is mildly ahistorical, in that it requires you to also own the Bishopric of Liége. Liége was never part of the Spanish or later Austrian Netherlands and it just makes for annoying gameplay if I want to stay allied to the emperor. I would suggest either removing the requirement to also own Liége; however, I believe a more elegant and perhaps easier to implement solution would just be to change the requirement to "control X number of provinces in the Low Countries. This way it could also account for a slightly diminished Burgundy before the inheritance, and not force you into war either.
Edit: One last minor change I would like to see would be with the "Continue Reconquista" mission. I don't think it's as much a priority as the other two, but if the devs go through with not allowing you to take land with the restoration of Union CB, please allow "or owned by direct subject" completion requirement to the mission as well. Currently if you PU Portugal through the tree, you won't be able to fulfill the mission without a conquest war first, because they own Ceuta at game start. A better solution to the whole taking land thing would perhaps be to allow you to take land you claim and cores too when you restore PUs, or just use the existing unjustified demands mechanic and up the penalty.
