These points are now invalid because of many evolves. The new Symfony have easier dependency injection with annotation or type hint!
It's true that Laravel is much easier.
Magic is something I don't like, newcomers don't get how FW work when there's too many magic.
The community is the same as the Symfony one I think, their Slack is active, the github have so many pull request, etc...
It's kinda same with product like API platform, both Sf and Laravel have blade/twig.. Maybe your own experience so

You should try Symfony 4 with Flex, it comes with many handsome features, auto config, powerful type-hint, internationalization of url and more.. Even add bundle is easy now. That's what make Symfony better in my opinion, they are making big evolve that allow you to make a little or big project.

But in fact, Symfony need a lot of time to learn how to use it.
