Lesser Restoration and Prayer of Healing can be real handy, especially if you don't have a Cleric in your party. Warding Bond is good if you're serving as the "tank" of the group and there's a much squishier character. But also keep in mind that you may often end up using your 2nd-level spell slots for upcasting stuff like Divine Smite, and you don't actually have to prepare any level 2 spells.
As for Find Steed, it's really just flavor, so I'd lean in on something thematically relevant to your Genie subclass. If there's one of the elemental smite effects that you find yourself using more than the others, do something with that. Dao's Crush? You're riding a magic horse made of rock. Efreeti's Fury? The horse's mane is fire. And so on.
