It's good. If I were to suggest something, it's less healing spells and more stuff that will keep you safe, like Shield, Contingency (Heal me below Xhp) and Wall of Force.

I really do like Shield. Guess I'd probably take it in place of Heal, perhaps? I didn't know about contingency though. But Wall of Force is there :D

I love Healing Word, it stands a party member back up, you don't need to run and touch them, and its a bonus action.

Speaking of getting a full turn, I think Hellish Rebuke is pretty cool as a reaction.

Any turn you can have an action, bonus action and reaction you've probably done alot.

With both Shield and Cutting Words I guess I already have a few reactions accounted for but it is a good idea.

Does your party have a melee fighter who could profit from haste + could you get it?

It really depends on who else is in the party. If you have a wizard or ritual casters then many items are less important. Other casters will dramatically impact what the party needs from you.

Secondly the nature of the world may bias your selection.

That said it's a great list if we just consider a 'White box' exercise. You might like to consider as well:

There are some great 2nd level spells which I always find tempting:

Detect Thoughts, For knowing what's in the next room, as well as for interrogations
Enhance Ability, So many uses
Phantasmal Force, That illusive Int save...

At third level I cannot believe that you've left out:

Hypnotic Pattern,

If no one else has it then I recommend Leomunds Tiny Hut.

Also note that Major Image when upcast is permanent, so may be worth learning at higher levels.

Modify Memory is another unique spell with lots of out of combat utility...

True Seeing,

Plane Shift - I prefer to teleport...

and finally - pick up Wish - and simply use it as "anyspell"....
