The 2D is actually the one most heavily reliant on SRMs, though people tend to use SSRMs instead. Both the 1D and 3A (2M+2E each) can be used with SRMs or SSRMs as backup weapons, or as my 3A: With dual LLs and no missiles. The 1B works well with either 1LL+2ML or 3MPL without any missiles.

It's not as bad as the 5V, but it's pretty bad all things considered. The LCT-1V is arguably worse, but that puts the 5K firmly in second-worst or third-worst chassis variants in the game, so it's small consolation either way.

Interesting post, and I agree with the majority of what you're saying in it. The 2X and 4X sure could use some love (as could the LCT-1V and SDR-5V and 5K).
In my list above, I looked at the chassis more than the variants - the RVN-3L, for instance, is up there with the best variants in the light class, as is the SDR-5D (both in part due to their ECM, but also because they have the best hard points and hard point placement of the variants); but as a chassis, both the RVN and the SDR are strictly worse than the COM or JR7 - simply because these two chassis have no real stinker variants.
