I loved hearing Afraid to Shoot Strangers. They must have had a good reason to drop Infinite Dreams. I thought it may be too challenging for Bruce but they did fooking Aces High in the encore!

I totally agree with that. Just imagine someone declaring early on that the tour would comprise 3 years and Maiden would not play Infinite Dreams. You would say "impossible!"
 
I feel like if they did the Maiden England tour now, Infinite Dreams would definitely be in the setlist. The band were overly cautious and tepid between 2011 and 2014, and probably didn't want to take any risks. Since 2016, they've been a lot more adventurous. So hopefully they manage to bring it out of retirement before they call it quits.

They really were. The TFF 2010 setlist was the last truly adventurous one until LOTB 2018-19, in my opinion. TBOS 2016 came close though.
 
I'm late to the game here, and unlike most here I consider TFF one of my top 5 IM albums. And as I read about their setlists for that tour I find it hard to understand why they have never played Isle of Avalon or Starblind. They are in my opinion the two most adventurous songs on the album (with Honorable Mention to The Talisman which they did play - and it was brilliant).
