If you prefer you can replace the textbook by classic
.
Anyway I do think this is exactly what the song needed, probably the only thing I would do different would be add a high qualitity amp sim a of a 60/70 classic amp with a minimum of distortion, or do some with a wave shaper (in one of the guitars + a different pan(?)), but I wanted to use Rea/JS alone.
Personally I wouldnt like long reverbs, vocoder, phaser or trance gates in it.

Truth be said almost all the mixs sound the same, so I think individual coments will be scarce

This lets your compressor do what it's designed for, with 1 setting working across the whole mix (or segment when there're really big diffs between verse/chorus for example and you have to split it to 2 channels)

Compressors exist to avoid that kind of automation
!
Anyway, looking at the wave, that kind of performance is probably a) intentional or b) from a really bad singer
, it doesn't even look much like a vocal wave. IF the first you will be doing a lot of damage, if the second ... I would want to be the one mixing that thing.
IIRC the only place here I used compression is in the vocal, for my mix. Maybe the guitar could have used some expansion...
