I think that's part of the consensus too, that Pathfinder has better combat than 5e. (Never played Pathfinder, but I have several friends who play both D&D and Pathfinder).

At release I'm sure BG3 will still have some homebrew in there. (Personally I just want to keep providing feedback to where we get good homebrew, or at least the current homebrew can shine.)
