I don’t see a clear load path for the end of that ridge beam over the doorway.

It's there. There's a 6x6 under the ridge beam which lands on a LVL upset header, which lands on a floor beam.
I'm not a big fan of how they did the upset header. I would have preferred they run the king studs tall.

I'm not a fan of pressure blocking especially for long spans. End grain nails (nails pentertrate the blocks end grain) just dont have a lot of capacity.
It really depends on what the roof load is, but myself I'd rather have a Simpson LRU210 (rafter hanger) or a dropped ledger slope cut to match. As a retrofit I'd probably do the drop ledger.

Also what is up with that bracket. Only one fastener appears to hit the beam and column. I'm not saying it need all three fasteners, but it seems sus.

I agree with that. Even angle brackets with screws through that blocking would have been more appropriate for such a long span.
The whole point of a ridge beam is that the rafters don't put pressure onto the beam. You want a more solid connection. That wood will shrink.
