Why can I now only send texts by 'RCS'?

The reason I use iD instead of 3 is that you can guarantee no malicious player on the internet can get your account charged for services you haven't requested. 

Don't understand the differences between 3 and iD that allow you to make that assertion.

So, is it not correct that with that setting, I can proceed with RCS knowing it will always be free* to myself and the recipients?

*if covered by free wi-fi or data bundle.

You'd have to be certain that whatever limit/switch you've set on your iD account is explicit about these charges (I haven't looked this up). There are often exceptions about "additional" charges and what will/will not be allowed.

Your recipients would not be charged.

What is or isn't included is irrelevant. Bill capping means you can restrict the total of all your out-of-bundle charges to a maximum of £0, £5, £10 etc.

a screed of options 

I was only familiar with the building definition of this word so was surprised to find it does indeed have a literary meaning. Sounds like you're saying Vodafone produce an unruly list of random options.

On second thoughts, I'm probably overthinking this and it was just a typo for screen 🥴

No, did mean screed - slang for long, rambling, or simply 'a lot'.
