Not really any house rules I can think of.
I like Contacts overall and certainly dont have a problem with the Reliability modifier. Most people pay more attention to the name than the mechanics, Somewhat Reliable at *1 cost is no worse than rolling the skill yourself really.
Where I do think Contacts could be changed is to make them use Limited Use rather than Frequency of Appearance modifiers.
As it is now its often better to buy an Ally or Patron for the same cost.
I like Rank, I think the AR roll is too hard for most campaigns but cant argue its unrealistic.
I'd recommend a PC take an appropriate wildcard skill and use points for success to make those rolls.
