Nope. I an saying that even for a dungeons & kobolds character, he is extremely weak. Also, I never played a game where you can enter in the underdar at lv 1~4. That is INSANE. Underdark part on Dark Sun : Wake of the Ravager was a nightmare.

Nope. That is a strawman. What Larian should have done is :
1 - Allow you to reach higher levle if they plan to introduce spelljammer ships and underdark
1.2 - Or made a low level campaign that makes sense to be low level
2 - Not made HP bloat ruining spells like sleep.
2;2 - At least made the HP bloat a OPTIONAL RULE

I hate HP bloat rule. As Maximus said "How can we feel even a little bit powerfull if our characters are weak against the weakest creatures..."

Make the game more P&P like. Wizards able to rest after each fight is ludicrous.

This is Barrelmancy from DOS2. Not D&D wizardry.
And how TONS of spells which has no surface effect or anything like that could work on this game? Larian is trying really hard to make 5e more dos like and both systems are completely different.

As for less miss, an small agile goblin being hard to hit makes sense.

An small agile goblin child soaking 3 heavy crossbow shots makes no sense.

I own a 175 lbf and believe on me. If Goblins existed, I doubt that they could soak an hit from it. Hell, there are people who use crossbows to hunt bears.
