1.  Yes – Use cases where key information is exchanged by means other than the JWS and JWE headers ARE important.

I also think the KID or other method of identifying the key is a SHOULD.  It might be that there is only one key so identifying it is a touch redundant.
We have methods other than kid to identify the key as well.
