There should definitely be more to keep things interesting.

Rank 1: maybe the middle forms of Hoenn starters whenever they come up?
Rank 4: Dragonite at the very least to mirror Tyranitar. Or the final forms of Hoenn starters whenever they come up.
Rank 5: several legendaries, for now just the legendary beasts and Ho-oh (hopefully soon), in a similar way the did legendary birds and Lugia

I may think up of more later, but there should be more diversity for sure.
 
In my opinion, new raid bosses should include:

Level 1: The middle forms of the Hoenn starters, as well as Feebas.
Level 2: Arbok, Raichu, Clefable, Wigglytuff, Jynx and Porygon
Level 3: Golem, Ampharos, Espeon, Umbreon, Ursaring and Donphan
Level 4: Dragonite, Aggron, Flygon, Slaking, Salamence and Metagross
Level 5: All Kanto, Johto and Hoenn legendaries and mythicals not currently available.

Oh right, I forgot Feebas as a Magikarp counterpart for Rank 1. That would actually be a nice way to be able to get it because I think Feebas will actually be quite rare otherwise.
The idea of Arbok as a Rank 2 to compliment Weezing/Muk as well as the other Eeveelutions as Rank 3 makes sense.
The pseudo-legendaries Salamence and Metagross as Rank 4 is also good, but I'm afraid that just like Dragonite isn't in, one of those two pseudo-legendaries for Gen III still won't be in to make it harder to get. Maybe Salamence will get in and Metagross will stay out, in order to not have both Dragon/Flying-types hard to get.
And of course that's how Rank 5 should work, although with Exclusive Raids coming in I could see Mythicals such as Mew and Celebi get that tier just like Mewtwo instead of a regular Rank 5. In fact, the fate of Rank 5 is debatable since all the currently available Rank 5 will leave the tier in August 31st. Perhaps there will be no new additions to it.

I like that wishlist:
Rank 1 - everything other than Ivysaur/Charmeleon/Wartortle (which we actually got) would be awesome as a Rank 1 and perhaps worth doing.
Magikarp should come back but I doubt it; Eevee's nice enough I guess but I wouldn't really go for it, I have better and Level 20 for something that evolves with 25 Candy... nah. Dratini, Larvitar, Pikachu, Unown, Tyrogue, Mareep are all good; in fact Pichu could be an option too if they don't like Pikachu as a Rank 1.
Rank 2 - people asking back for Exeggutor, cool; that was also nice. Scyther/Porygon were considered a bit too good for this Rank and became 3s instead, interesting thinking there. Magneton... not a fan, as we already saw when they released it :(
Rank 3 - Espeon/Umbreon please!!! It would make so much sense, the other Eeveelutions have been here before. Dragonair would also be an interesting pick. Houndoom... I think it was a special Rank 4 in some Japanese event? So not fit for 3.
Rank 4 - Dragonite please! That would be awesome and I'd be OK with parting with Tyranitar for its sake. Gyarados and Blissey would be also great, but I doubt they're ever releasing Gyarados, they want those 400 Candy to be worth an effort...
 
Rank 1,
Unown should be good, since they're super weak in main games and can be possibly a tricky boss in GO.
And Plusle and Minun would be insane for a raid boss.
Rank 2: Mareep, Bagon, Beldum? No idea.
Rank 3: Espeon and Umbreon. Other than that, no idea.
Rank 4: Sceptile, Blaziken, Swampert, Gardevoir, Salamence, and Metagross are potent candidates.
 
Unown would indeed be a nice Level 1 Raid Boss and give people a reason to spend Raid Passes trying to get all the letters. I don't think it's gonna be hard, it's still very weak in GO. The only niche it has is Hidden Power, but even that shouldn't hit hard even if it is super effective on your attacker. Struggle is a bad charge move, of course.
I think all the Basic/Stage 1 starters could make nice Level 1 Bosses at some point, as well as several other Pokemon who can appear Shiny. With Pikachu being a very notable one. Marill/Plusle/Minun also work, I think.

For Rank 2 I could now see Murkrow getting added at some point, given how Sneasel/Misdreavus have appeared there. It also has a Shiny but falls more in the Sableye/Mawile category, still feauting no evolution in GO. Some two-stage final evolutions are also possible. For an extra twist, Solrock/Lunatone and Zangoose/Seviper could appear here when their regional status is finally changed.

Rank 3 could certainly use Espeon/Umbreon and all the future Eeveelutions when they become available. Umbreon might be very tough to solo, however. I also think Ludicolo/Cacturne could be fine additions that let you get done with the species register even if weather is never in your favor. All Fossil Pokemon also fall in this category, so I'd not be surprised to see Armaldo/Cradily in here, although the latter's probably going to be very challenging.

For Rank 4, all final forms of starters can do. It'd also be nice to see pseudo-legendaries other than Tyranitar in here. Or perhaps the final forms of a few other rares associated with pseudo-legends like Gardevoir/Gallade (when it becomes available), Slaking, Flygon... With some extra wishful thinking, Gyarados/Milotic is a possibility, but I feel like they don't want to make those so easy to get.
 
For levek 1, I definitely agree that Unown should become a raid Pokémon. Pikachu, Marill, Plusle and Minun would also make useful additions.
For level 2, I disagree that Murkrow should become a raid Pokémon, despite the fact that it can be shiny, since it's already too common where I live.
For level 3, I can see Ludicolo, Cacturne, Armaldo and Cradily becoming raid Pokémon, but not Espeon or Umbreon. Wobbuffet would probably make a good level 3 raid Pokémon as well, especially since it can now be shiny.
For level 4 i think that th Pseudo legendaries (plus Gardevoir, Flygon, Slaking, etc.) would definitely make useful additions.
