Let me address your concerns and explain why I would allow it. 1 - Find steed does not have specifics around it. There is all kinds of animal variants used for find steed. A 5th level paladin pre-gen created by AL had a Paladin with a bear as a steed. They purposely left the animal type up to the DM approval. 2 - The character's main class will be Druid. Animal Friendship, Animal handling and speak with animals are intended to be used to get around the animal's wildness. I would require the character to spend those slots at the beginning of the day to negotiate with the animal and then animal handling just before a battle. I would make the check easier the more time the character has the animal. The animal isn't intelligent(This is before awakened), so he is only a mount in combat. He can't attack if you are riding him. 3 - When the animal is awakened, it says the animal will stay with the character for 30 days. I personally think that this is cool and would allow it because I believe this is what was intended for the Druid. Older editions used Animal Friendship for how the Druid got his animal companion. Awakened is a 5th level spell, so the druid won't getting till almost tier 3. Its great flavor and an opportunity for role play. Find steed is a spell  that gives the Paladin a companion. I don't see why animal friendship and awakened shouldn't give the druid a companion.</blockquote>
