I think a neat feature to add would be a sort of endless leveling (or insanely high level cap) for all squads. Similar to what the 2017 EA Star Wars Battlefront 2 did, beyond all the unlocks for a class, you could still level your squad as a way to show off your time spent with it if you have a favorite squad.
If a reward of any kind was to be tied to the levels, maybe a special tattered/war torn uniform could be unlocked after X amount of level for each soldier. Say 50 levels or so required per soldier, so to get a fully customized rifleman squad, you would need 450 levels (9 x 50). Even if there is no reward, I feel like being able to level squads after all unlocks have been obtained would be enjoyable

I’ve got a more organized proposition:
Instead of grinding one point at a time, grind three points simultaneously, one for each tree (red, blue, and yellow) Of course the exp needs to be rebalanced since different squads need different research priorities. There can be a permanent booster that you can choose to boost the research of a certain tree. But overall, the global exp requirement for squads should be reduced, like the research points for weapons and vehicles are.
To incentivize grinding, I suggest more customization options (since many are locked behind an arbitrary paywall, or sporadic events) can be added in the squad progression: Once you’ve finished grinding a certain tree like the blue one, the excess points can therefore be transferred to other squads of the same tier (Infantry and vehicle squads alike). When all are unlocked for the squads of the same tier you currently own, you will receive a portrait (for the blue tree and red tree). For the yellow tree, we can get ID decorators, to distinguish your performance using such weapons (rifles, lmgs, smgs, etc.) In vehicle squads, researching all vehicle upgrades will unlock decals (division markings) from the unit the squad belongs to (much like many wt decals).
Right now 32k for the final upgrade is complete bs, for a simple attacker squad that uses a fragile bomber.
This is just another leftover content they never bothered to fix since the merge.
