They'll need to figure out crop rotation or their farmlands will lose nutrients quickly, since they won't have yearly/seasonal flooding to replenish the soil.

All good considerations above, but also sounds like you need to get a good handle on how this world came into being. The assumption of travelling caravans assumes that civilizations exist in multiple locations and people need protection while travelling. One one presume these pockets of civilization are likewise heavily fortified. But unlike our human perception of fortification, which was designed to protect against other humans, it would seem that protection against these megafauna was paramount, and defenses right down to indivudual weaponry would be unique to that purpose. Warfare between societies in such a dangerous might be very infrequent. Remember that human civilization did not materialize as we understand it until after we became the apex predetors of our environment. However, if something reversed that progression and we slipped from number one, then naturally all efforts would be made to fight our way back.
Also, you mentioned god-level mega-beings that might protect forests and such. Any kind of magic or spiritualism on that scale must be factored into the equations. Sacrifices and supplications to higher powers for protection while travelling should therefor be added to the list above. Perhaps the human civilizations also have their own protectors as well. Just thoughts.
