Cas returning out of his own free will, and bringing the Impala with him as a "Come on, Dean, we all know you need her. You're miserable without her. And by the way: What can I do to help?" would be brilliant.
What you say about being vulnerable and self-confident at the same time, and about how Cas needs conflict to grow again, I agree that this is all true EVENTUALLY. I think it's the timing where we disagree, because I don't believe that's what he needs RIGHT NOW. He has been awake for a day in that episode, give the poor guy some time to breathe and regain some strength (again, not talking physical, he does have his powers after all). Yes, you could argue that he had days/weeks/however long it was in-show of rest, but considering he said he still saw Lucifer for a while and everything, I doubt that it was a very relaxing sleep.
When I say I wish he had gone with Inias, I don't mean for good, I mean for a while. But yes, maybe Inias wouldn't know when to let him go again. Maybe this right now is the better option, but only if he really does get a few weeks of drama-free roaming around, sitting on mountain tops, and watching plants grow. And THEN we can start thinking about his coming back and joining the fight again.
