Absolutely. It sounds as if everything above 5 kHz was
cut off somehow. A higher mic position could help, but
I've got the impression that the mics are lacking HF
anyway.
* a bit too dry for my taste
Yes.
* lack of low-end - the pedal is more or less missing
It's there but there could be a bit more...
* unpleasant ambience reproduction
Difficult to say since there isn't much ambience.

is slight
distortion at the microphone (quick shot, i may be wrong, only listened
once and no measurements)
Well, this isn't a German organ. It also needs some
maintenance, and the registration doesn't help.
I don't fully agree on the benefits of using omnis.
A *good* cardioid will reproduce the bass as well,
even if maybe you need to EQ a few dB. And spaced omnis
on organs or anything that produces long sustained notes
can be a disaster for mono compatibility, unless they are
spaced much more than a meter. And in that case you risk
the 'hole in the middle' or you need at least three mics.
