I don't know why players don't recommend a dormant Master Lich for a rainbow function. In this case a dual function build with 4F2A4W2E2S5D2N and rainbow scales with no production scale verses a dormant enchantress. You lose one extra production but you can still maximize your blessed unit production. You also lose 1 astral gem production but gain immortality and a third bless (death). Finally perhaps 1 heat scale would be better in the long run than a 1 death scale which I hate for blood nations for the very reasons discussed in this guide. Gold helps initial development but no death scales help sustain a good blood supply economy over the long run.
Sure, this one looks perfectly fine too. If I go for rainbow builds I generally try to fit in 3S to ensure I can forge Rings of Sorcery (with coin and cap) and Wizardry - hence why I often end up with the enchantress. But your variant with 5D (and immortality) has the advantage of being a very frightening caster on the battlefield (or on the strategic map for that matter) Forge him penetration and death boosters and lay down the hurt.

As I said though (and you repeated) I don't feel Arga Dis really needs a rainbow pretender. Unless you have a specific role in mind for him I think your best bet to be either an awake SC, or a Scales monster.
