In multiplayer there is a NAT type and mine is "strict". This is an issue I have come across on console and have found workarounds, however I have never had this issue on PC before. For Honor is the first game I've played on PC that decides to use NAT types like console does. I don't have any issue finding matches/playing with friends etc in any other game I play. I am not questioning the decision to do multiplayer this way on PC, but I am making note that this takes away from gameplay experience as I was unable to find a match after 20-30 minutes of searching in the 'high activity' game modes. Based on the difficulty to play games online/interact with friends due to NAT type I find it hard to recommend to people I know who also have NAT type issues.
Another issue I ran into...the quit to desktop option wouldn't work. I'd click it (or hit space) and a confirm screen would pop up saying progress would be lost if I was currently in a match. I hit space again (or click on it) and that pop up goes away but I'm still in the menu and it doesn't close. I ended up having to open up task manager to close it.
Other than that the game ran fine. Defaulted to High settings and got a solid 60fps at 1920x1080 Full Windowed. I thought the controls for mouse & keyboard were fine, though it did feel odd having to hold ctrl for most combat - don't have a suggestion of something better though.

You mentioned you didn't like having to hold down the control key all game, either did I but you don't have to hold it down, just click on it once. However what I did was just remapped the key to something more convenient, for me I used my mouse's thumb buttons for the ctrl & alt keys. Just go to your settings & remap whatever keys you wish.
As far as your strict NAT fix,
the ports they recommended last month were:
TCP 80, 443, 13000, 13005,132000, 14000, 14001, 14008, 14020-14024
UDP 3075
I fixed the strict NAT problem without having to forward any ports (besides already having fowarded 9000 UDP for Uplay which I had done long ago) at all & by simply setting my PC as the DMZ Host. So try that first before anything else.
This link may also be helpful for you. https://support.ubi.com/en-US/faqs/000024619 There are probably already a few other threads on NAT issues.
And this link may be necessary if you are unfamiliar with how to change your modem/router settings. https://support.ubi.com/en-US/faqs/000024619
I also experienced that unable to quit issue you had after entering the play menu but not in the initial practice sessions.
