I agree with you in everything except on the optimistic point of view. Wilheim says "rain comes and finally there will be fortune". Rain not only clarifies a situation but also removes obstacles and changes the situation. So the ears of the cauldron at some point could be fixed or at least being useful again50.3 means after a good beginning (preparation) something gets neglected, an opportunity is missed, the cauldron cannot be lifted by the handles. Don't be too optimistic about the "things will be fine". The falling rain means just that the couldron will be washed but the meal is irreversibly lost anyways... At least you end up with a clean cauldron
If this refers to future, take the advice the oracle is giving you and be vigilant not to miss any opportunity. Do not neglect your active part in the process. Hesitation, shyness, passivity, inadequate, inapropriate or overly eager action may ruin the meal (again!).
50.1.2.6 looks mostly OK and leads to abundance.
From the negative aspects of 50.1.2.6 envy (jalousy 50.2) seems to be the most probable flaw. I bet it goes like this: you start well "prepare a good meal" (50.3), but then you act/feel jalous (50.2) and at that point "the meal is wasted". The other interpretation of 50.1.2.6 could be, that you simply have abundance (55) of rivals 50.2, which is not your fault at all.
24.4 is ambigious as everything about 24. 24 can well mean "return - stop doing what you're doing wrong (jalousy)", or "return from the idea of getting rid of what is blocking, there's nothing to be changed, you did well, just there were rivals 50.2 who won that persons heart.".
24.4 says "you return alone", it is negative in my experience. It usually means "you're not going to be accepted", "you don't fit into the group". Here the power to reject/accept lies in the other person. It's not that you decide to leave, it's them who say "no". Maybe you briefly had that particular person in mind while casting the hexagram.
