PLUS! Is it ok to take those feats as I level my cleric up, or am I at a severe disadvantage if I don't start taking them from the start?

I said mage, not cleric. And take them as soon as you can get them.

Even sillier! Shouldn't the mage be worried about casting spells?

Depends. Spells are better later on in the game, when your mage is higher level and can actually cast some. Ask yourself: early in the game, what is my mage more likely to be doing, casting spells or shooting his crossbow?
