Are any of the archetypes too unbalanced?

I agree with the general consensus: archetypes, on the whole, are not overpowered, often underpowered, and the benefits of customization are a huge boon to player creativity.

There are of course exceptions: the Synthesist is certainly ripe for abuse, so I'd recommend you take a look at that and make a call on it. As a base class across 20 levels, it's not too much to worry about (mostly for the action economy reasons SotS mentioned), but as a 1-level dip, it could potentially be abused.
