One thing which might be nice as part of improving grantee experience would be being able to submit applications as a google doc (with a template which gives the sections you list) rather than just by form. This increases re-usability and decreases stress, as it’s easy to make updates later on so it’s less of a worry that you ended up missing something crucial. Might be more hassle than it’s worth though, depending on how entangled your backend is with airtable.
Yeah, I do think there are a bunch of benefits to doing things in Google Docs, though it is often quite useful to have more structured data on the evaluation side.

You can actually update your application any time. When you submit the application you get a link that allows you to edit your submission as well as see its current status in the evaluation process. Seems like we should sign-post this better.
Nice! Glad to see more funding options entering the space, and excited to see the S-process rolled out to more grantmakers.
