Links to all places are in all modules.

Just the graphic shell isn't everything. If possible: nice. When another module offers more, but just not 100% consistent layout: better.

I must query though, with the existence of the ability to upload to our own server, why we need the other uploader (as in the Java based one which involves uploading and then PMing you)?
Because the Java one is more capable.

Wouldn't it be easier to allow direct uploads to the LDM
Not yet.

or moderated uploads
Moderation takes time too.

Which could be used instead of the highly separate CMS.
It logs the user into the CMS when logged into the forum, together with the Wiki.

It may not serve the function of books, but with a bit of BBcode and increase information for/from the writer the forum could be better for that as well.
Not really.
