I am more concerned about how OP the druid seems, when they can just fly to a location, then turn into a bear on the same turn and attack. That is just going to be abused like crazy, and I am willing to bet there will be changes before the game goes live.
Based on your own arguments - simply don't use it
At least the AI won't be doing the same against your party (I don't assume they will have many druids in the game), so that shouldn't happen anyway. Though like Niara said you can actually do the same thing in the tabletop by switching wildshapes while in wildshape (except flying creatures require level 8), but you couldn't go out of bearshape and back to it to get a fully healed bear. Nor could you turn into a bird fly on top of the tower switch back to druid and shoot with advantage/cast in the same round like BG3 makes possible.
But at the end of the day the reason for the druid being overpowered is the same as with all the other issues - changes to action economy and overall balance without proper due dilligence. They've ripped apart the balancing system that the rulebook has in place and replaced it with something that isn't thought through and keeps piling on issues.
