Other families on vital list not in top 30. Some of these would be good to remove:
Extinction and/or Endangered species
For production statistics (which I don't have time to check right now) FAOSTAT is the best source I know Cobblet ( talk). That's where I was planning to check. Plantdrew ( talk)

Maple
Cobblet (

*
Willow
Cobblet (

Good candidates, but doesn't help with northern temperate bias. But could swap these in with
hornbeam and
hazel out (we've got
hazelnut, so hazel doesn't seem worth keeping).

* Is
kelp not a plant anymore? Probably worth including anyway though
Cobblet (

Cactus ought to be vital

Jute (one of 3 most important fiber plants; cotton already listed, flax nominated)
*
Eggplant (already nominated)
Going off my gut instinct with bold entries. Would be good to check production statistics
*
Oil palm
*
Olive
*
Rapeseed
*
Sesame
Not sure about relative importance of non-bold entries. Check production stats.
*
Chickpea
*
Clove I'd prioritize this because of the
spice trade
Cobblet (

*
Nutmeg in the same boat as
clove
Cobblet (
talk)
*
Vanilla
Asian spices?
Asafoetida,
Fenugreek,
Lemon grass,
Sichuan pepper?
*
Ginseng for sure, if we're also nominating vanilla
Cobblet (
talk) Ginseng isn't really a spice, more of a medicinal (though that distinction can be a little blurry). We could include a few more medicinals though and ginseng is a good one.

***Sugarcane is a must add. Among the top ten produced and valuable crops in the world according to FAOSTAT. It could fit in even at Level 3 comparing it to the other crops there.
Gizza (

*
Seaweed (not really a plant, but probably vital)
Except Aloe vera and seaweed, I'm not very strongly inclined to add any of these. Good list of possibly vital drugs though (both recreational/medicinal).
