All of this should be VERY high level tech or some thing are lower tech but there are higher tach improvements in the case of siege weaponry they should all be around the same level as walls
I don't mean anything modern what I'm saying is make like roman style ballistas and onagers as well as roman scorpions
Pros
long range
VERY high damage
Scorpions are fairly accurate
Various ammo Iloilo pots bolts boulders ect
Can destroy buildings and walls
Cons
Not maneuverable
Ballista and onagers are not accurate they can hit a wall easily but individual men would be very hard
Long reload
Multiple men to operate
Can be destroyed
Expensive
Ai can use them too
Slow moving
Scorpions can't destroy a wall or biulding unless it is flammable
Siege weaponry
attackers things like ladders for assaulting walls siege towers battering rams and sapping piont a
Pros
Useful for assaulting a walled settlement
Biuldable away from town
Prtection with the siege tower and sapping points
Sapping points are had to destroy and stop withou taking them
Cons
Expensive
Slow
Not maneuverable
Sapping points can cave in
Sapping takes a really long time to reach walls
Takes time to build
Defender things like boiling oil raised platforms for missile troops pitfalls can be dug by the gates
Pros
makes settlements harder to take
Can be very deadly
Arrow towers provide protection for archers
Cons
Expensive
Takes time for to biuld pitfalls
Friendly a can fall into them
Arrow towers take time to biuld
Boiling oil can miss
Oil takes time to get and is expensive
If they breach a wall the pitfalls become almost useless

I really like your thoughts about pros and cons there. But there have been other topics about siege weapons. Please use the search.

Yeah, search is either hit or miss. I too have made this mistake.
