The event I don't like is the DnD descriptions on items. Everything becomes the x item of +y. It's only novel once and after that extremely cluttering, at least for me.
It tends to, Not always. Honestly I didn't design it that way, it's just something I've noticed and didn't mind.
The items becoming cluttering and overcomplicated is entirely the point. Remember this stuff IS supposed to be helping the wizard.

For information about summon events odds you can get a mostly accurate picture from the initial pull:
https://github.com/tgstation/-tg-station/pull/4521
All that's really changed is fake explosion was removed and RPG items (the ones that give wacky names to everything) was added as an uncommon level event. Keep in mind that events are removed after they occur a specific number of times (varies with event), so the odds of any one event occuring become better as time goes by and other events are exhausted.
The summon events currently supports 56 individual events before running out of things to call (at which point it starts pulling normal events and everyone realizes how biased to anomalies event code is. At summon events x1 an event will run every 1 to 5 minutes (so every 3 minutes over an average). This means that the event ticker will be "magic" for (on average) 2 hours and 48 minutes from the time of initial casting (56 minutes at fastest, 4 hours and 40 minutes at slowest). Obviously this covers the grand majority of wizard rounds in terms of round length and most wizards won't see everything summon events can do in a given round.
Unless they take it multiple times:
Every time summon event is taken the upper limit on event occurrence is reduced by 40% and the lower limit is reduced by 20%. This makes events both more "predictable" and faster.
Summon events x1: an event every 1 to 5 minutes (average 3 minutes) running for 2 hours 48 minutes (on average)
" " x2: an event every 48 seconds to 3 minutes (average 1 minute 54 seconds) running for 1 hour 46 minutes (on average)
" " x5: an event every 25 to 39 seconds (average 32 seconds) running for 30 minutes (on average)
" " x7: an event every 15 seconds running for 14 minutes
