On the other hand racial imbalances kind of pale next to the elephants in the room. Jump, backstab, high ground, shove, barrelmancy. While those exist the tactical layer is so broken as to make other balance concerns irrelevant.
This should be the actual discussion.
Character building has definitely taken a back seat while Larian's house rules basically run tactical combat. Which is not very tactical but doing backstabs and getting high ground on repeat. Or cheesing with Stealth.
