And redistribution can certainly be an issue, particularly when the house then tries very hard to avoid being what the old houses were. The Virtuosi is basically what Ty Beirdd always tried to be, were it not for admin limitations, and while the house isn't perfect by any means, most of its problems stem more from the city then from any issue of identity.

Houses are what you make of it, you want to achieve something social, and make things fun for yourself and other people, then join a house. If you wish to grind and focus on your level or fighting and not really deal with people, then do not join a house and expect to have things handed to you by that house.
I can a hundred percent guarantee you @Daeir that if you actually spoke to any of us, and participated outside of the forums and complaining that we do nothing of interest, when you are not present to see it, then you might actually LIKE the house identity and where it is going.
Talamond Averial says, "You are the least charming siren ever."
I don't think any other House has managed to dynamically transform themselves like that. I feel like any other organisation could've taken something, even like Seafaring and work the entire House around it if they'd been willing to step outside their comfort zone. But they did not.

You cannot join house <x>. You suffer from insufficient gravitas, mien and comportment.

I need to be unenemied to Cyrene so that I have someplace to buy inks and plants.

But not often my any stretch of the imagination.
Recently defiled a shrine or two in response to Rangor raiding - but didn't have the numbers (30) for an actual follow up raid

I know the topic's changed a bit, but regarding the Shield situation: I think it'd be neat if Cyrene fully embraced the idea of being a neutral place of higher learning, like the super-university of Achaea or something.
Cyrene's always been interested in learning and the arts, and combat could easily be considered an art form, so what if the Shield provided a way for third party militaries to practice things that don't really get much practice outside of live combat scenarios? Group stuff like compositions, synergies between classes, mock combat. Could be a good way for cities to get more people involved in raid defense as well since there'd be less pressure, especially if you could get entire raid groups into Cyrene's arena (I'm not sure if you can, actually).
An added bonus would be if the Shield stored all this information away in like a massive combat library or something. Class synergies, group curing priorities, etc. Want to test out a new multi-class wombo combo but nobody's raiding? Give the Shield a call. Can't figure out how to deal annoying afflictions in a group setting? Ask the Shield.
Would hopefully breathe some life back into the house, give them uniqueness on top of what they already have (this wouldn't necessarily conflict with their "protect Cyrene" identity) and establish them as a major center for learning combat, all in one fell swoop.
I don't think it would even affect the big "don't bring conflict to Cyrene" ruling, because what raid group would want to destroy testing grounds they use and piss off the guys with the keys to a ton of knowledge?
