I noticed that one of the (non-default) optional rules that was up for discussion was counterbattery fire.

I blinked when I saw that, and then thought about it for a minute, and came to the conclusion that, while it makes sense when there were more stable front lines (e.g. the various Ypres scenarios from the end of 1914), I just couldn't see it during the war of maneuver.

I may not be thinking about this correctly. Anyone care to weigh in on this point?

Correct, I wouldn't recommend that either until we have an F16,17,18. ;)

And how do we feel about explicit supply? I'm rather fond of it, and never noticed that it seemed to make any difference one way or the other in terms of play balance.

Good question. Some love it, some hate it -- hopefully it doesn't effect play balance as you say, because if not then that means I got the arrival/quantity of supply units down correctly.
