I think the keywords are making this a lot wordier than it would be without them.

"May block while tapped" is an interesting idea. But "Vigilant, Unblockable" is a lot simpler.

And finally, of course, "you may Proliferate twice" is a lot simpler than prosperity.

Interesting critter though. Extremely efficient for colourless, even ignoring proliferate.

I think underdwell is a fairly interesting mechanic (it's on lots of cards in the set). I worry it might be too hard to block, too much like shadow, but I think it's interesting enough to keep and to try.

And in regards to size, mythics are allowed to be kinda huge, even artifact creatures; the poster child for that is Wurmcoil Engine, though I think perhaps that's considered to be a mistake now because it was basically the sixth Titan.

On the other ability, though, Vitenka is absolutely right - this needs to be written "proliferate twice", not some confusing "prosperity" keyword.
