3. Does the travel sound ok? I don't think there will be any super long travel days, except for the Koyasan connections. Please correct me if I am wrong

Let me point out one thing.
It will take four and a half hours at least if you use a train to transfer from Takayama to Matsumoto. Although linear distance between two cities is not so large, there is no direct rail route since high mountains (called Japan Northern Alps ) lies between Takayama and Matsumoto.
I would recommend you to use a bus for the transfer, then it will take only two and a half hours.
(Note: this route is run by private bus companies, so JR PASS won't cover it. )

Sorry for my poor English, I hope this will be of help to you.
