The bolt release can be reached with your trigger finger unless you have short fingers. You can use the charging handle by using two fingers on opposite sides of the charging handle and pull, I wish I could show you pics of what I'm talking about.

I also understand your want for an AK because I use a WE AK74UN and it actually feels less awkward with your left hand. So overall it depends on your playing style, personally I can use either or, but I'm more familiar with an AR so I lean towards it.
Yeah, I have operated an M4 as you describe before. I don't mind the fire selector, or the bolt release as I just use my finger to hit it as I did with my SCAR system. I just find that using my thumb to hit the mag release is awkward. Going to hold out for the AK
