Buy another Vulture hull, try building it in a different way, with dirty drives, reactive armour or whatever and do some testing. You might not prefer everything, the stuff you like you can transfer to the Ronin. I bought a second Corvette hull a while back (the Wayward Wanderer is legacy engineered), built it up & while I still use the old one for local patrols 'number two' (named in honour of the 3.3 update) ended up better in every way for armed exploration.
Over the weekend I jumped back into a Vulture for the first time in over a year and fitted it out similarly to the first loadout you provided. It is a nice ship to travel in, and with the extra class 1 modules pretty versatile too. I was surprised you didn't have an SRV fitted

I struggled with power management though & ended up disabling the cargo hatch, only enabling it when I wanted to collect mats. Waiting for the FSD to power up is something I haven't had to do for a while, and the shield consumes a lot of the available power. You make it work though
