On the whole tho, it sounds like you have a reasonable enough opening set of maneuvers.
Is anyone identifying the enemies in your party?
Walls are also really strong. A Chromatic Wall or Wall of Force can be an extremely effective round 1 in some fights.
To save on higher level slots, Rank 3 Fear never really goes out of style.

Our Magus identifies sometimes. I don't have Wall of force in my repertoire as level 6 is a very competitive spell level. Should I be carrying perhaps a scroll of it for use?
A scroll for this is never a bad idea unless you already have too much to carry!

You need to take both the Folklorist and Campfire Chronicler dedications.
Spend all actions, every round, everyday, Offering Stories, Spinning Tales, and blasting out the Anthems.
Peak Bard activity.
Interestingly, that wouldn't be an unplayable character.

The difficulty may come in using the scroll though. It would effectively require two rounds to cast. One round to draw the scroll and all three actions of the next round to cast the wall.
The exception being if you are a Magus character that has a hand available for holding items. Many Magi do not. Starlit Span Magi generally use 1+ hand weapons and would not have a hand available for carrying items. Inexorable Iron Magi use 2 hand weapons. Laughing Shadow Magi generally need to have a hand completely free including free of items.

Ugh, this guy. He doesn't shut up. What happened to the bard that just quipped about stuff or the one that slept with the dragon?

I think you are reading too quickly. The ally is the Magus. The caster in question has a Repertoire.
Still good information about the hand usage when thinking about carrying around scrolls that aren't needed for every battle.

Now it's restricted to have only one but Retrieval Belt may help if you are play a magus with a free-hand or 1+ weapon.

It started as a joke, but now I like the idea of a neurodivergent Bard whose barding methodology is info dumping constantly.

This is very true, but I personally like to play with all my options. It may not be helpful at every opportunity, but when it's possible to do, it could come in clutch.
