I agree that meteoric armour is a little lack lustre if only
it is immune to magic - although I'd say that magical bolts can't pass through it as written.
The rest of the ideas are indeed fun though, but you do have to watch how far you push the idea - and it becomes a slippery slope where meteoric iron slowly just becomes something that produces an anti-magic zone around it, rather than simply being immune to magic itself.
Now this may be what you want, and prefer (as its more interesting) but it
is something different in a fairly fundamental way - and at that point you're opening the door to players trying to reason munchkiny gains from the described mechanics (like foil plating regular iron with meteoric iron to give it the same benefits at a fraction of the cost!).
