In my opinion, Skybreakers would make a horrifying policing force for what I'd subjectively consider generally upholding good. Their oaths are much more aligned to becoming the perfect gangster, or a highly authoritarian government's policing force—again, subjectivity; they'd uphold law well in such militaristic societies efficiently and mostly unwaveringly, just not my style of what an upholder of justice for civilians should be. Much better for internal affairs or military policing, for example, rather than the public. Their dedication to higher-ups over the flexible nature of morality would, in my opinion, make them the worst Order as a policing force. I believe that Windrunners and Edgedancers make much better forces for upholding good. As well as Willshapers to a niche extent (more higher crime than regular police calls), and Elsecallers for things like white-collar crime and detective work. That said, this is all subjective. For example: I'd argue that Lightweavers would also make excellent therapists, although I do agree that Edgedancers would also make great therapists. They'd (Edgedancers) also make great CPS-like agents in my opinion. And Dustbringers could make great addiction counselors (their oaths seem to require mastery upon destructive forces). Actually, now that I think about it, I think every Order could make a great therapist or counselor of some kind given that they need to be broken to become Radiants to begin with. Now I'm thinking about how cool it would be to choose a therapist, psychologist, counselor, etc. and filtering by Radiant Order. I hope that's one of Kaladin's legacies All 10 Orders would make great engineers, artists, performers, businessmen, and pretty much anything else. Honestly, I think a more interesting question is which Orders would be poorly suited to a certain career or societal role? It seems like you can always make an argument for an Order being good at what sounds like something that goes against their oaths. My answer being that I think Skybreakers should not be a policing force for the public, but rather for internal affairs as well as being lawyers, judges, and jury members (alongside Elsecallers). And then there's Bondsmiths. They'd be good at everything that I can think of lol.

A successfully written Moash redemption arc would be absolutely amazing, and something I've been hoping for since reading Words of Radiance. I am one of those people who loves Moash, lol. And great analysis, Johnny.

Given that he prefers Vinestance, I'd wonder if he would become a Truthwatcher. Going off these: https://coppermind.net/wiki/Polestone#Emerald https://coppermind.net/wiki/Stances#Vinestance

I noticed a few weird things about the Dustbringers. Dustbringers are the only ones in the 10 Orders of Knights Radiant info page on Brandon's website whose info about their oaths are written in past tense: They also didn't like being called "Dustbringers" before the Recreance, instead preferring the name "Releasers" according to both the above Knights Radiant page and a Words of Radiance epigraph: Spark bonds Malata for vengeance (Coppermind link): That doesn't sound like seeking self-mastery to me. I'm guessing that the Stormfather would not accept oaths with such intent. Would Cultivation? I don't know enough about her yet to claim a strong opinion on this, as I can see arguments on both sides. Perhaps Spark is corrupted in some way, causing Malata's oaths to be accepted by a different entity. I'd very much doubt Odium would be the one doing this if Sja-anat enlightened Spark since Renarin has advanced far enough to summon Glys as a Shardblade, and Odium probably doesn't want to give the black cloud in his plans any more power. Could Sja-anat be the one accepting or even intercepting oaths? I would need to gather more evidence before posting a full theory, but I am curious about this Order now. I'm wondering if it's possible that the Ashspren and their Order changing. Or maybe something else weird is happening. Or I'm just looking for mysteries where there aren't any, as is a curse for so many in this fandom

Remaking Adonalsium would make for a bad ending or goal story-structure wise. Although Hoid wanting to bring someone else back is a strong theory.
