well you just linked to what the macedonians used, they used sarrisas and not doru's, the doru was about 2.4 meters long, which is still a nice workable length, but yet again only effective while in formation, we can argue alot about the effectiveness of the spears vs swords and we will most likely not agree, and the point about the pavise you mentioned isnt exactly true, there were a smaller version of the normal pavise shield that could be used as hand to hand shield, while in other times it was actually a different person holding the shield while the crossbowman would reload,
i wouldnt change the halberdier into what you offer, making him an jack of all trades, since were talking about a guy who could actually outdo the current legionaire, perhaps renaming the entire class to an hoplite, but that would just make a problem with the fact that mount and blade and spears isnt the best friends
