The parallel fourths are jarring in the trumpet parts (although not without precedent, I grant), but the remainder sounds perfectly pleasant. Whilst I have no qualms with your writing mock-baroque, I'm not so sure about being taken 'to interesting places' as gms. The movement sounds rather too rooted in G major to be wholly interesting. I appreciate you probably won't want to make any massive alterations to this particular piece, but next time I'd suggest using a few sequences to catapult yourself into new keys.
I think gms' real complaint was that this is not hugely musically interesting as a mock baroque piece. If you're adding to the hundreds of thousands (possibly millions) of pieces that comprise the baroque corpus, I think the next movements need to be more harmonically exciting.
