> a healthy dose of Hennessy's book
Most any CS book seems to have been written in C, Java, C++ and lately, Python. Are there books on computer architecture, algorithms, compilers, whatever written in Scheme?

- Structure and Intepretation of Computer Programs (SICP), used for decades in MIT’s introductory CS course: https://mitpress.mit.edu/sicp/
- Picturing Programs: http://picturingprograms.com/

There are plenty of CS books where the code targets Scheme, another Lisp, or another functional language (e.g., ML or Haskell.)
Are you interested in finding such a book? Do you try to refute any of my points? If so, which one?

Yes.
Off the top of my head, only Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs. But that's... different.
And Paradigms of Artificial Intelligence Programming.
Google it -- it's freely available on-line, along with a video lecture series.
It's different, in that it doesn't teach Scheme (Lisp). It teaches computation (aka CS).
Go from there.
