Yeah, the Barrage feature is likely not as good as PAM bonus attack, but it might be better for some (classes without Extra Attack, or classes that have a lot of competition for bonus actions). So I’m okay with that, I think (though I’m open to tweaks).
Yeah, I want to avoid stepping on PAM (as a character could get both feats, in theory).
I’d consider something different: maybe an option to attempt to trip an opponent who misses you with a melee attack (sort of like a sidestep and trip with the quarterstaff).

I’m a fan of the +1 def, maybe add the AoO from PAM when entering range? It would bleed into PAM though…
