I haven't even played 5e but I looked it up and the tabletop rules on jumping, shoving, disengage and basically everything that's different seem better than BG3 changes.

100% Agree! This is how you do it in tabletop, so why not do it here?

Also, the balance from these issues is all out of whack. Sleep is almost worthless, and certainly has no long-term value as a pick now. This minor AC/HP change to goblins will require most spells in the whole game to be rebalanced (and then all classes) until it's barely even 5e at all.

Instead of making this a different game from 5e, find a way to make the 5e results cooler and more interesting.
