I'm late to this thread, sorry, I've had a quick read, and I have a couple of things to add right from the start.
First, no matter where you put your compressor, wire a switch into the electrical outlet that the compressor is on, then locate that switch right next to the door that your leave your workshop from, label it "Compressor" and then you turn it off every time you leave the workshop.
The second thing is move your workbench out from the wall, the way you have it now you do not get the full usage of such a workbench. Maybe swap the work bench and the tablesaw positions, move the table saw towards the wall where the workbench was, and then put the workbench in the middle of the room, where it should be. The workbench should be just lower than your tablesaw, so you can use it as an outfeed table of sorts. I really cannot say this strongly enough, a workbench against a wall is a lot of potential wasted. A workbench in the middle of a room is so very versatile, IMHO. You asked for opinions, there is mine
