If it's under warranty, I don't see why you couldn't just get it repaired or replaced. Just your experience and perhaps a couple of sample clips should do the trick.

Not seeing that problem with my Zoom. Strange. Maybe something went wrong with your firmware update. May need to reset the unit (don't ask me how) and reinstall the firmware.

I don't think you'd want to position yourself between the bride and her adoring groom during the processional. A low tripod is fine but a standing adult with a steadicam is a bit too much.

I'd agree with exposing for the face and bumping up in post. Bringing down contrast in post is tricky and tends to make the image look washed out. Getting it right in camera always looks better.

We have the same issue with the Zoom H4N. And unfortunately the Zoom has a pretty high noise floor, so just boosting in post is not pretty. Maybe a preamp is needed here.

Definitely don't mount the recorder on top of the camera. Most of the time the camera will be eye level, so you won't be able to read the display.
