Descriptive fields on the left
Action fields on the right
Good sections structure

Things I may add:
Formulas to the Highlights Panel - eg City State Country
More useful tools in the Utility Bar
A Related List of the next things to look at - only contextual - eg if there are Open Cases or Open Opportunities, I may display them at the top of the detail page for the Sales or Support team only.
Related List Quick Links component if there are a lot of related lists.
Dynamic Related Lists
A good Files component on a separate tab - see Files, Content, Attachments, Documents etc.
Report Chart Component and Record Reports on a separate tab
I may go to Dynamic Forms if needed (Dynamic Actions are already done)Dynamic Forms and Dynamic Actions
