The ideal is to have the option to choose. In my opinion, point buy leads to very weak characters even though it might be alright for Pnp for the sake of balance. In my current Pnp game the GM allowed for either roll or point buy with more points, and he would adjust difficulty according to our stats.
Since BG3 will have only coop multiplayer and no competitive PVP I don't see why characters of two games should be equal statwise. If a player wants to roll until his MC has max stats, just let him.
There are players who play simply for RP and will accept whatever roll they get or point buy, so other players getting stronger characters won't change anything in their game.
