Interesting questions

In terms of going from living to dead to undead, no solid answer there. Some Lich creation stories have them dieing, some don't.

An undead creature simply isn't dead. It has an animating force that is not life, but it's not dead. Both the 2014 and 2024 rules specify a dead creature, but an undead is not dead.

Now let's saying we ignored that, yeah I think all that would happen. Every undead would be pretty difficult, casting 7th spells is hard and it's only cleric and bard. It would end up being a magical logistics problem more than anything.

They took out the willing part as it was stifling creative uses of spells from what I recall, one of the interviews/ads for the new books.
