I would have liked too see Ray, Winston and Peter interact a little more but they did not purposely give them less dialogue with each other. Frozen Empire had extra characters and points they they needed to hit. Having them in more scenes just to riff would have felt forced. There was enough going on.
People like to criticize references/callbacks as pandering but they tie the world together. Not saying we need everything referenced but what’s in FE makes sense.
The bookstore is Ray’s business that shouldn’t count as a callback. I don’t consider Slimer a callback because he’s a proper ghost character that stayed hanging around the firehouse. Also I personally liked seeing John Rothman. I wouldn’t say it was necessary but it’s funny seeing he still works at the library and presumably had problems with the paranormal over the years.
In general what bothers me is they never went back to catch the library ghost once they were in business but that’s a different discussion.

Nothing can survive the will to stay alive, cause if you try, you can do anything.
