There are other questions, though - why did this necessitate Coulson being declared officially dead? Giving up the chance at a normal life? They couldn't say, "Oops! In the chaos of the battle, we thought he was dead but it's OK now...?" As you say, they used it as a character beat - it was an attempt to spare him the memory of what was apparently a torturous process. But Coulson is pretty tough. Seems like he could have handled the knowledge even if the memory was wiped.
Also, he was awake and lucid by the time Ron Glass saw him - how did they get to that point?
This is why I'm waiting for the other shoe.
I suspect there will be another Sam Jackson appearance before the season is said and done. (Or Coulson has a secret cameo in Cap 2, but the former seems more likely.)

Personally, I think Col. Fury is content with having lost his eye, as it serves as a visual reminder of the cost he's born to come this far. Which would be suggestive that the loss of his eye might have been the result of a betrayal by a trusted superior, and help rationalize why he is something of a loose cannon.

Was that coincidence? Or a huge hint?

(I was surprised to learn that at first too - maybe the Inhumans are on the share list? I have to think that if Fox wanted to use Black Bolt, they could.)

Interesting! I think it's a huge hint that might make sense of one of next week's guest characters. That Wikipedia article you've linked says, under the events of "Infinity":
Who's the guest character next week?
Now...how that relates to Coulson's resurrection, I'm not sure. Will they say the technology they used came from the Inhumans? I would have thought it was based on the Hydra technology they took.

Has anyone wondered if Fury's past has included ... a run in with the Centipede eye-drives?

Now there's some food for thought.

Pete Seeger's life was a picture of an idea in flight, and the idea will continue long after. As long as there are people with goodness and courage in their hearts, the idea will continue forever.

First - Coulson was DEAD. And, that "death" was part of what made the Avengers the Avengers. Coulson can't come back to life (or at least, couldn't - not sure what happened in the movies, as I haven't seen them), because that might demotivate the Avengers team.
Second - I LIKE the idea that Fury might have been an early Clairvoyant victim - why the Clairvoyant knows so much about Shield. The Clairvoyant apparently can "read" minds - which is all well and good, but I'd bet s/he has to have some access to those s/he is reading.
Third - We are told that the Clairvoyant can't read Coulson. That seems REALLY significant - and thoroughly justifies Coulson's "specialness" - especially if Nick Fury knows/knew about the Clairvoyant, even maybe before the rest of SHIELD found out.
to wit What if Coulson's brain surgery altered his brain so that it couldn't be read by the Clairvoyant? That would be a pretty huge tactical advantage for the special Coulson team and would explain MUCH more clearly, why the Clairvoyant wants to know how it was done (really? Bring supersoldiers back to life? That seems lame motivation. Defeating a tactical advantage that could be spread? THAT'S motivation).

Meanwhile, poor Sony is struggling to concoct a multi-film Marvel franchise of their own using only characters associated with the Spider-Man license. They're developing Venom and Sinister Six films (presumably without Spidey), and if their effort gains any traction we'll likely see a Black Cat film somewhere down the line, but beyond that it's hard to see where they could go. Silver Sable? White Tiger? Prowler? Rocket Racer?
