It sure is funny how combat in Solasta still has lots of missing, yet the missing doesn't feel like much of a problem. I think it's because turns go by faster, and so missing doesn't feel like as big of a deal, because you'll get another chance again soon.
Not only Solasta has way faster animations but you can reach lv 5/6 on solasta EA.
So, you can have two attacks per round and cast spells like fireball on solasta. As a lv 5 shock arcanist(homebrewed class), it can dish 9d6 damage at lv 5+1 dice due the subclass), you also don't fight enemies with high AC or HP on the beginning, so each hit counts.

My point is that if Larian believes that missing is too bad, they could
- Made 2d10 or 4d5 instead of d20, making rolls more akin to a bell curve (I know that d5 doesn't exist on P&P but a computer can simulate it)
- Made after a miss, a hidden bonus on next roll for you and enemies
- Putted enemies with low AC on the beginning
- Homebrew powers that increase chance to hit
- Start at lv 5 where you can attack twice per turn and cast less RNG based spells
- Implemented concurrent turns to speed up the enemy turns
- (...)
But the low AC / high HP is IMO the worst "solution"
