I just now realized that Aziraphale has an angel wings mug. And that his toga pin/brooch in Ancient Rome showed wings. Or that Gabriel’s jogging shirt has wings stitched on. I love it, are there more such references?

I’m kinda confused,, this may be a simple thing but I just can’t connect the dots: specifically those instances where aziraphale is like “Crowley you can’t,, it’ll destroy you” what is he referring to? Does he mean the holy water? Why does Crowley want it? (Apart from the scene where he uses it as a trap)
Yes, Aziraphale means the holy water.
Good Omens works with the premise, that any time an angel / a demon is killed on the Earth it means only their earthly physical body gone and their soul gets back to Heaven / Hell where (after some paperwork probably) they are assigned a new body.
But there is a way to completely kill a demon - with holy water, and a way to completely kill an angel - with hellfire.
Crowley asks Aziraphale to get him holy water ‘as insurance’. Aziraphale’s mind automatically jumps to the conclusion that Crowley wants it as suicide pill if Hell ever found out about him working with an angel or another transgression, so the angel refuses.
Why did Crowley want it though? We can only speculate. I think he more or less wanted it as was shown in the show - as a weapon against other demons.

Why doesn't it heaven think that "Aziraphale" might have low-key fallen when he's not affected by hellfire? They even snidely remark that he's been "being a bit of a fallen angel", and he was able to possess a human when they think that only demons can do that, so it would make sense from their perspective that he'd technically fallen. This would then lead to the obvious follow up of "let's spray him with holy water." Is it just for plot convenience, or is there a reason it didn't occur to them?
I think that at that moment they are legitimately terrified. They though up this plot to kill this angel who they had been thinking of as a bit of a pushover and suddenly that angel is breathing hellfire on them - manipulating one thing that could kill them completely. They don’t know what it means, they don’t know what he’s capable of, just that suddenly he’s the one in the room with the power.
Like yeah, perhaps later when they sit down and brainstorm they might come to that conclusion and cook up another plot to dose him with holy water (fortunately for us that will be Aziraphale in his body by then). But at that moment? They were probably glad he ‘just’ left.
