Currently, a single fire arrow can cause two concentration checks immediately and more if you remain in the surface which is way too powerful. The Saving Throw DC of surfaces created from consumables & arrows should be low to compensate for the surface remaining for multiple turns: 10 or 12 at most.

Additionally, going prone shouldn't break concentration. I'm not sure if this is still in the game, but the last time I played it was.

Concentration is fairly balanced in PnP 5e, since there a) aren't that many surfaces, b) typically casters in 5e are in the back and enemies don't exclusively target low-AC characters, c) casters often have mirror image (not concentration) or blur up, and d) feats like War Caster and Resilient are used to improve Con checks. The concentration mechanic does certainly limit the stacking of spells, but that's a whole other discussion.

Honestly, Larian should remove all of the surface affects that they've haphazardly thrown on top of their hamfisted 5e adaptation.

Being healed by walking through a puddle of healing potion with boots on is beyond dumb, just like being poisoned from walking though a poison puddle from a dead spider that you killed yesterday poisoning you.
