all of the shortcomings in Solasta you mention are potentially resolvable through EA.
I don't think that this is right. One shortcoming is the mere fact that Solasta only has the SRD5.1 licence. This means a lot of pretty good DnD content can not be implemented. That said, I am with you that Solasta shows how much fun strict 5e combat can be.
But Solasta will probably always be a way smaller game, just because the Dev team is so much smaller. Which is finde, as they do a great job, but BG3 delivers as much and great content in EA as Solasta probably will have in full release.
But yeah: Larian, dont shy away from 5e. Embrace it.
