Ferrari works fine on the soft, but go to the hard and all the lap time is gone, so that speaks for downforce limitations.
I don't think that follows. I'd say it's balance and/or suspension issues. Really they cannot use the tyres in the correct way
Looking at this qualitatively, I'm inclined to agree that whatever they've done to their 2023 suspension is a major issue/contributor to deg. Across the first two races, two teams have really struggled with this: Ferrari and Haas. Haas less so in Jeddah but Bahrain was truly shocking for them. Ferrari not great in either. For the F1-75, deg was a weakness. Now it's a severe limitation.
Perhaps they can make whatever kind of discovery they made after France 2021. I would expect it to be not as simple as an aggressive setup with extreme camber/etc. which would give good one-lap pace at the expense of longevity.
