G2 are a pretty reputable brand of parts. I would definitely agree with earlier, rear shafts would be a soon upgrade to do. Everything else sounds complete, except for lighting.

My Jeep is set up almost identical to yours (without the supercharger). I am looking at the Ten Factory rear chromoly shafts. These have been on back order forever and Northridge has them in stock now. Heard good things about them.

Run the rear as is, but you will eventually need to upgrade the front to a ProRock 44 housing. Even with gussets the stock front 44 will only last so long.

If you do it sooner rather than later, you will only need the housing. If you bend the stock axle too far it can cause damage to other components.

Look at the picture below. The axle tube on the right is a stock Rubicon D44 the one on the left is the Dynatrac ProRock 44.
