I guess we have take in account the possible work to integrate ghcide and hie:
https://github.com/haskell/haskell-ide-engine#configuration but anyway my 2 cents:

I think the more attractive tasks usually are improvements and there are many, many issues labeled with "enhacement" : https://github.com/haskell/haskell-ide-engine/issues?q=is%3Aissue+is%3Aopen+label%3A%22type%3A+enhancement%22

Given my background as jvm developer i miss sometimes to have a graphical debugger: #204 but i am aware that not everyone thinks that it is even needed in haskell.

I have DAP protocol support in my list of things to discuss going forward. To me it is intimately tied in to providing a REPL.
