I don't find Faramir taking the ring to Osgiliath to make much of a difference. TTT EE explains Faramir a lot better and the reasons behind taking the ring to Osgiliath. And in the end he does make the decision by himself to let Frodo go. So, I don't see a big problem with that scene (besides the ringwraith).
For most of the things PJ gives an explanation for (check the appendices) and I find them quite reasonable.
