Unravelling an Aegis

Actually, the main limitation appears to be targetting, in that you must be able to target the Aegis.
Usually this means you have to be able to see it, but there's no indications that the Aegis itself is visible - you'd need InVi to do that.
HArdly insurmountable, but that's about it.

One thing to bear in mind is that the spell guidelines assume a default Personal, Momentary, Individual. If you change the spell to Touch, Momentary, Individual (one magnitude higher) then your level +10 actually becomes (level minus one magnitude) +10 (I think). So as you extend out to voice/sight/arcane connection the efficacy of the spell gets less and you need a higher level spell to have the same effect.

Already taken into account - Unravelling is a spell, already at R: Voice.

Probably. I'm away from my books.

The underlying point still stands, I think. Is it easy? Relatively, yes. Do you need a ritual? No.

The discussion usually ends up with the claim that it probably should need a ritual to dispel ritual effects. I'm not sure I've seen that anywhere in the fifth edition rules, so it doesn't. And as for game balance, as far as I can see it, the only ones likely to be disadvantaged by house-ruling the ritual requirement are the players, so I wouldn't do it in a month of Sundays.
