Ah that sucks, though now the lack of vox will definitely free up some points for more bodies and weapon choices

As you said, this is a very low numbers of Elite, squishy units. If they keep the Combat Drop SR, maybe it would be better to take the Valkyries as Fast Attack choices and decide wich unit will go in them each game. I understand your basic tactic is to use the Valk as Drop pods stand in, but sometimes it could be more usefull to thin out the horde before your Objective Secure Vets come on the board.
While I would like to keep the valks in reserve; I need to keep stuff on the table or else I automatically lose if the opponent destroys everything before the valks come in(happened to me before when I played tempestus scions codex); any suggestions for what I should keep on the table?

They probably would if its well painted but they still hate me
Plus I'm trying to keep to the drop troop theme of my army, so for now, I'm trying to avoid the Imperial Knight(unless I can get a mech model that looks like something the Elysians would use, possibly a metal gear model)
