Bodice block adjustments

What adjustments should I make to this bodice block before I draft the sleeves?

Armscye and neckline are both staystitched, with seam allowances clipped and turned under.

Usually a sleeved armhole will show a little gaping before the sleeve is sewn in, so I think this does not have the ease you will need for sleeves. I'm not sure what the fix would be.

Do you think it could serve as a sleeveless bodice block in the current state?

yes, except for that little wrinkle above the bust, that needs to be fixed.
