I feel like sequencing work to eliminate dependencies is important, but I can't recall if that directly addresses critical path challenges.

I remember practicing a question about distributing work to other teams, but I’m not confident if that’s the right answer here.

I think one strategy could be to adjust work between teams, but I'm not entirely sure if splitting Features and Stories is the best approach.

Sequencing work to eliminate same iteration dependencies could be a smart move. That way you can avoid having multiple teams working on the same thing at the same time, which can really slow things down.
