I guess they'll first implement all classes before raising the level cap. The level 5 mean lots of new things to implement and to balance.
At the moment the game isn't balanced at all and it would become way too easy if we can reach level 5. I think they should first properly implement all classes and subclasses and give us a well balanced D&D experience for lvl 1-4 before trying to go further.
Is a single player game.
Fun >>>> Balance.
And is not as if D&D was balanced in the first place.

This balance cultism is a reason which modern RPG's are AWFUL.
Seriously. You can start BG2 at lv 8 and old school games tends to have way stronger spells than 5e games.
I an not talking about only 2e games. Might & Magic 6~8, Arcanum, kotor 1/2(...) all of this games has way more powerful spells than BG3 will ever has even if they make it lasts until lv 20.
Wanna examples?
What about transform your enemy into hot blood grenades and OHK most enemies?
What about force storm?
What about fire rain on gothic? G2 + returning as a water mage
And I can list far more examples.
Why people here pretends that fireball is such a army slaying nuke?
