The reforms got tweaked they triggered too fast in 1.0 even if the player was not a Celtic faction. But as the Casse if you conquer the whole island and build up towards the needed things you'll still be able to do it in a reasonable amount of time. The 2nd reform will not be something you'd hold off winning the game in order to reach...

the only thing perhaps is you'll then also meet harder resistance but you'll have the best troops under your command so its a double-sided coin.
I agree, I'd like once to let the game play out on the mainland until after the 2nd reform and then fight it out with the best rosters...
