"I think half of the point was that things like 女の刑事 and 女のライター are fine, not blunt"

I don't think this is true. 女の人 and 女の子 are fine but outside of these conpoubds, e.g. in 女のライター it's blunt.

I think half of the point was that things like 女の刑事 and 女のライター are fine, not blunt
the 2014 wording worked well for that

OK. I'll split off おみな and drop the others.

おみな is in meikyo (古), sankoku (雅) and smk (雅). I think it should be split out into a separate [arch] or [poet] entry. I'd drop the others.
I don't it's worth having おな or おんあ as sk forms. 女 is almost always written with kanji.
How about this for the note?
I don't think "female sex" is needed.

Hard to get the right balance here. It's not really sensitive in the usual sense, and it's 
totally context dependent. I'm inclined to stick with what we've had for the last 5 years.

It is context-dependent. If you do a Google news search for 女が/女に/女を, you'll see plenty of examples where it's not remotely offensive or derogatory.
It's not considered polite in formal situations or when referring to a specific woman, but it's used all the time in casual speech without being rude.

I do think it's a useful note, but I agree it's less useful if it doesn't mention what to use instead. I don't think it's super 
context-dependent, 女 outside of compounds is almost always somewhat offensive/derogatory. Actually we could maybe do away with the 
note and just tag it with [sens]... though that might cause confusion (i.e. it's NOT [sens] in 女の子, 女姉妹, etc.)

Do we even need the note? I don't think it's particularly helpful to tell a learner that a word sounds "blunt" unless we explain what alternatives there are, but then it gets a bit complicated. It all depends on context, anyway.
I suggest dropping it.

I think so.

Discussed this with a native speaker who said that using

as 下品.

Maybe a note? [note="can be perceived as vulgar when used 
outside of compounds"]

I think it's a good point, as it is a bit plain and blunt. It's also a nuance that I wouldn't expect a JE to reflect well if at all.
I don't think "sens" is the right tag. We need something to indicate bluntness. I'm suggesting putting "female" first to make it a bit more impersonal.

if there's a reference for it, sure.  but gg5 uses it pretty freely without any indication of it

Should there maybe be a [sens] tag on 女? I mean I've been 
taught the preferred form is 女の人, 女性 or 女の子 and that 女 
by itself can be quite rude.
