I think as someone who has only marshalled in the oval world, I was quite happy with them deciding to only sort out incidents when the pack of cars was controlled away from the recovery scene
Even under VSC things can go wrong
The lives of Marshals are not worth sacrificing so some prima-donna F1 drivers can maintain their precious gaps between each other....
Aside from that, I'd say the race was a 6 or 7
There was a period where Ted decided to hint that rain might fall soon that seemed to make everyone think it was already falling (Bottas locking up, Vettel spinning, Kimi trying to flip Russell et al) and it seemed we were in for a Monza style crazy race
But then it settled down into the kind of boredom you'd expect from 2020 machines on a track without massive amounts of straight, until the SC perked things up for the end.
A race of three parts then, really.
