How much braid did you take off for the shock leader or didn't you bother ?

no need,it's spooled slightly under the lip,the amount for the drop and 6 turns on the reel won't affect it

How quick is the drag on it. Would it be a worthy marker reel?

It's fairly quick to be honest perfect for marking and spombing.
Used mine on Friday and was a pleasure to use.The braid was great got no wind knots and got the bait out no problem still blanked thou🤣
