The nerf to Roar's damage boost, when being subsumed to Protea, is mostly negated by her Passive:
Every 4th Power Cast is granted +100% Ability Strength.
Primed Sure Footed is a preference (I use Kuva Ogris a lot), it can be replaced by Cunning Drift / Power Drift / Preparation etc...
Protea's survivability comes from Grenade Fan's shield satellites and shield gating; Rolling Guard to prevent being killed from toxin. Archon Vitality could remain Rank 0, since it's mainly used for stacking Heat status.
Primed Flow is a very good QoL, but it can be replaced for more range (Stretch) / more duration (Augur Message) or maybe more survivability (Adaptation)
In terms of energy management, the 45% efficiency isn't too detrimental, due to the Dispensary and Equilibrium pairing, and especially if your Companion has Synth Deconstruct:
Enemies injured by the Companions have 25% chance to drop a Health Orb when killed.
