1. Yes, arrogant listen to his Mass Effect 2 dialogue. Seriously, the entire area was f***ed up and scorched, he had no reason to believe anyone survived. This isn't a plothole.

2. And we don't know what those processors or transports look like. The strain the Hades Cannon put on it combined with the Cain round could have been too much for it to take. Or maybe the Cain had been buffed up since Mass Effect 2. This isn't a plothole.

3. It takes hours if not a days to travel to different systems, they had time to move the Citadel. As to why Earth, probably because it was mentioned that they were constructing another Human-Reaper...which was, you know, one of their main goals. As to why they didn't shut down the Relays is because the Keepers stopped working....like it was mentioned back in the original Mass Effect. Not a plothole.

4. I'd say that does answer your question. TIM possible could have upgraded himself with Cerberus technological breakthroughs. The truth is we simply don't know, but that isn't a plothole.

5. Sword fleet didn't exactly call ahead and tell the Reapers they were going to attack. The Reapers literally had minutes to scramble their defenses, and they had to use most of their ships to engage Sword. The Destroyer was protected from the jamming signal, so it wasn't in any danger unless it left. But your entire point is moot since the Reapers DID have a back up plan and DID spare more ships to defend the beam via Harbinger. Not a plothole.

6. Again, this is a case of we simply don't know. Maybe it takes a while to power down? Not a plothole.

7. Except that is was guarded via TIM. And maybe there were some Reaper forces, Shepard and Anderson could've just lucked out and missed them due to the place changing. Not a plothole.

8. Maybe the beam worked like a Mass Relay, but again, we don't know. That doesn't make this a plothole.
