The CS games reveal that quite a number of the snakes are musicians in their spare time.
But can they do it as deliciously extra as this one?

The pacing seems to be faster in this one, which is good. But I shove the doors so far away away, so what's the best point to stop and do them in one rush? Is Chapter 7 still early enough or should I think of doing all that stuff earlier? And do the chapters stay short until the finale or will they get longer before that?

Do doors whenever at this point, though I found that it's much better to just do them as they come so you have some variety in between the story heavy ones. Chapters stay a fairly consistent length throughout, but really they wouldn't have been so short if you had just done doors as you found them.
Either way, enjoy my favorite game in the series! It kind of sounds like you're just trying to rush through it. Slow down and enjoy.
One thing I wish I had done when playing TITS 3 was to chill out and explore the home base more.

Oh I enjoy this one too! It has so far the best boss fights, the monster design is also my favorite (I'm a sucker for good monster design) and Kevin is a way more appealing maincharacter than Joshua (who was alright, but meh) and the plot hooked me. That's the problem though: I'm so hooked by the plot now, that I don't want to be slowed down by the doors. Titas door scared me a little in that regard (one hour and no gameplay at all!), so I want to see the bosses first before I do the sidestuff. I mean, I see the practical side (money and Orbs), but it's so exciting right now :D.

Well, just remember that many of the doors provide a backbone for a lot of world building you will see and be piecing together for the next 6 games. It's all very exciting stuff on its own. While Tita's door was touching and interesting in its own way, there aren't too many that are quite that slow moving/long.
Don't miss any of the doors, except maybe the Sun doors!
Little update: I finished more doors than I thought. Right now I did 9 star doors, all moondoors and almost all sundoors :D. But yeah, this was the right tactic. Now I have finished a lot of the sidecontent and can just soldier on.
My favorite group right now: Kevin, Ries, a certain soldier and Josette. I try to skip on Olivier, Schera and Joshua, since those three, combined with Estelle, were my standard group back then and I like trying new dynamics.
Josette?
I'm playing through Trails of Cold Steel for the first time, and I was wondering whether you get something worthwhile for completing the chapters with an S rating? Do you get bonus dialogue, cutscenes, or anything like that?
Also do the relationship mechanics actually matter?

No not fundamentally or directly, however an S rating is normally based upon completing all the subquests (sometimes it is an indication that you missed a hidden one) or talking to important people, and subquests and talking to important people often have a lot of lore /relevant titbits that will often help give even more context to stuff that will jump out at you later and become more rewarding. The first time I finished ToCS I didn't get S for all the chapters (I was pretty close) and I wasn't disappointed.

It's amazing how different people can be. Your main party was 'never use those guys' in my case, unless forced to.
What game are you planning to fill the void after CS4? I'm trying 13 Sentinels, and while it's pretty good (and gives some high school vibes + good story + interesting characters), it's not exactly the same level of pleasure as Cold Steel
