Question... If I'm in D and going down a hill... can I shift to S to get down shift capability? Or is shifting on the fly like that not something to do?

I've driven pickup trucks for almost 30 years. The 2018 Transit Connect cargo van I purchased this summer is the first van I've ever owned. So far loving it. Lower ground clearance has not been an issue for me. And as it's the cargo version with no rear windows can't comment on the rear view mirror! But I was also disappointed with how low I sat in the vehicle. I prefer a more "commanding" view... so I added 2" risers to the bottom of the drivers seat and that made all the difference in the world. I suggest that's something you consider doing.
