Consistency between SO and SE network sites
In order to integrate navigation (as it is on SO) we would need to revisit each of the site themes and we don't have the resources for that now.

I see "There are no review queues available to you" when clicking the review icon without any explanation
It appears that you have hit a review ban - too many bad reviews (i.e. - rejected reviews).

What criteria should we use to determine which review queue indicator a site will have?
I think that this statement:
people might still be notified of review tasks they have already completed if they don't get cleared after an hour.
is a bigger issue than you are allowing for.
Why do ...
