In all honesty, the biggest mistake Disney made was trying to do a 30-years-later sequel instead of one set 100 years in the future. If we had Rey, Finn, Rose, and Poe without the deliberate misuses of Luke and Han, Disney Star Wars would have been fine.

It wasn't an oversight that Luke and Han didn't get any scenes together. They weren't trying to bring back the old days. They were trying to usher the old guard out the door so that they could make a new generation the focus. They should have cut out the middle man and set the series so far into the future that they'd never have to account for what happened to Luke, Han, and Leia.
I have been saying this for years, but mostly with the benefit of hindsight. Back in 2014 I was completely convinced that bringing back the OT characters for one final run and to help build up the future was the right call, and the ages of the actors aligned perfectly with a trilogy set ~30 years in the future. On top of all that I never expected Disney would pass up such a massive opportunity to put Luke, Han, and Leia on the screen while they still could and I don't think many Star Wars fans did either. It would have been a big blunder to not do so and would have enraged fans I think.

I don't think anyone could have seen the absolute burial job they all got coming.
